High-quality care through convenient, accurate imaging services
UF Health Radiology in Jacksonville, Florida, is an active partnership
between the University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville and UF
Health Jacksonville. Comprised of board-certified radiologists — many with
formal subspecialty training — as well as radiology residents and fellows,
imaging scientists, technologists, nurses, and other specialty staff, the department
is a full-service, subspecialized team ready to meet the clinical and academic needs
of UF Health Jacksonville and UF Health North.
UF Health Radiology provides services at convenient locations across Jacksonville,
with imaging available at UF Health Jacksonville, UF Health North and UF Health
Emerson Medical Plaza.
Clinical Care
Our focus has been, and will continue to be, to provide the highest level of imaging-based
diagnostic and therapeutic contributions to the care of patients within the system
or referred in for radiological services. Our goal is to provide increasing imaging
subspecialization, supported by focused imaging and/or interventional radiology
expertise emphasizing integrated and judicious utilization of state-of-the-art imaging
technology to optimize yield and safety, and minimize cost and risk, on a patient-by-patient
basis.
Investigation
Focused diagnostic imaging and interventional radiology expertise, combined with
employment of state-of-the-art imaging technology, will provide the basis for relevant
clinical and basic imaging research. This pursuit
will be greatly enhanced by the formation of partnerships of academic radiologists
with imaging scientists in the department on one hand, and with external clinical
and/or industrial collaborators, on the other. Imaging-based research will be incorporated
into the training of residents, fellows and faculty.
Education
Educational efforts are multi-tiered and are directed at:
-
Radiology residents - program expansion and enhanced subspecialty instruction
-
Radiology fellows - development of new fellowship programs
- Radiology faculty - increasing support of continuing medical education activities
- Radiologic technologists - enhancement
of technologist training programs with subspecialization opportunities
- Clinical trainees - instruction in utilization of imaging techniques
