Our dynamic and innovative radiology service is committed to achieving the highest standards of patient care and staying on the leading edge of new developments and clinical applications in the ever-changing field of medical imaging.

Specialized Imaging for Women of All Ages

UT Southwestern’s specialized Women’s Imaging Program offers a variety of advanced imaging technologies and diagnostic services for women of all ages – enabling our physicians to make the most accurate diagnoses and prescribe targeted treatments for all types of breast, gynecologic, and fetal conditions.

Our Ob/Gyn Ultrasound service was the state’s first unit of its kind to be nationally accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine. In addition, our faculty includes the Southwest’s top radiologist in the use of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate fetal abnormalities.
