Radiology at the University of Washington
The Department of Radiology at the University of Washington is an academic department providing highly specialized care to patients who need state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging or imaging-guided therapies.
We serve patients at the University of Washington Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, the VA Medical Center in Seattle, Seattle Children’s Hospital, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, and many affiliated facilities throughout the Pacific Northwest. With a world-class faculty of subspecialist physicians and scientists, the department is a leader in radiological education and research.
The department offers a top-ranked radiology residency program, post-residency fellowship training in eight disciplines, graduate and post-graduate basic science programs, medical student education, allied health professional training, and continuing medical education for practicing physicians.
With major funding from the National Institutes of Health and other competitive sources, the department has long been a significant contributor to the science and application of biomedical imaging. We invite you to learn who we are and what we do.

Albert A. Moss Lecture
UW Radiology is pleased to announce:
Albert A. Moss Lecture in Imaging Sciences
Thursday, May 8, 2008
5:00 p.m.
Health Sciences Hogness Auditorium
Dr. William Brody, President of Johns Hopkins University and former Chair of the Department of Radiology at Johns Hopkins University, will give the Albert A. Moss Lecture in Imaging Sciences on Thursday, May 8, at 5:00 p.m., in the UW Health Sciences Hogness Auditorium. His lecture is entitled:
“Uncommon Sense and Innovation”
“Uncommon Sense is a set of misconceptions acquired by Age 18." – Albert Einstein
Innovation is a discontinuous phenomenon. By definition, innovation goes against the grain of established wisdom and dogma. While universities are supposed to be hotbeds of innovation and they attract the best and brightest minds to discover the unknown, it is the rare individual who makes game-changing discoveries. Our minds are constrained by our prior beliefs and biases, making it difficult to discover something that is truly novel and innovative.
Furthermore, luck, or randomness plays a greater role in scientific discovery than we are often willing to acknowledge
Dr. Brody will present material discussing reasoning and problem solving in the real world, with particular emphasis on innovation and scientific discovery.
