Technologist Programs

UTMB Radiology is characterized by excellent diversity of clinical material and a rich tradition of teaching. Over 200,000 exams are performed annually and these come from the main state hospital, a large Texas Department of Corrections Hospital, a Pediatric Hospital, and the Shriners Burns Hospital. In addition numerous outpatient facilities feed material to the Department.

FUTURE DIRECTION

The Department has been reorganized and this has been performed so as to develop a nucleus of recently trained individuals with focused academic objectives who will lead the Department into the next two decades. Emphasis is on ingenuity, problem solving, teaching, and the development of new knowledge, both clinical and research based. The reorganization also takes into consideration the changing structure of medicine and imaging, for we can no longer afford numerous sub-specialties, and while some will exist, others will need to be enveloped within a more general framework.

ACADEMICS

Academically the Department continues to develop ideas, perform both clinical and laboratory research which results in a steady flow of scientific papers, exhibits, chapters, and books. Our residents have already performed well in both written and oral Board Examinations.

News flash: UTMB Interventional Radiology involved in clinical trials

Delcath Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: DCTH) announced today that the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB), part of the University of Texas System, has joined Delcath's Phase III clinical trial for the treatment of inoperable metastatic melanoma in the liver using the Company's Percutaneous Hepatic Perfusion (PHP) System for the isolated, high-dose delivery of the anti-cancer agent melphalan. UTMB is the sixth center in this multi-center study testing the Delcath System.

Delcath and UTMB have entered into a clinical research agreement to conduct the Phase III National Cancer Institute (NCI) led study. Orhan S. Ozkan, MD, Associate Professor of Radiology and Director of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, will serve as the Principal Investigator of the study. On joining this study, Dr. Ozkan commented, "We are excited about being a part of this clinical trial and being the first center to offer this treatment modality to patients in this region of the US. This treatment offers tremendous promise for patients suffering from metastatic melanoma in the liver, and we are pleased to be able to offer this option to our patients."

Breast Imaging Suite earns Center of Excellence designation

UTMB’s Breast Imaging Suite has been designated a “Center of Excellence” by the American College of Radiology. It is one of two in the Houston/Galveston area with the designation, and one of only eight in Texas. “This honor is the product of very hard work performed by very good people,” said Dr. Gregory Katzman, chairman of the department of radiology. “UTMB radiology is blessed with an integrated breast imaging team that has a real spirit and passion for women’s health.” UTMB’s Breast Imaging Center is now fully accredited in mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy and breast ultrasound.
