Facilities

Diagnostic Radiology employs sub-specialized radiologists and several full-time staff physicists. We have a multitude of reading rooms equipped with PACS workstations for reviewing and dictating scans. Image processing workstations including Philips, Invivo, and AGFA are available for image analysis, perfusion, DTI, and functional MR imaging processing.
OHSU maintains 9 MRI magnets including:- 3 Philips 3T wide bore Ingenia
- Philips 3T Achieva
- Philips 1.5T wide bore Ingenia
- 2 Philips 1.5T Achieva
- Philips 1T high field open MRI
- Siemens 3T intraoperative
All MRI scanners include state-of-the-art echo-planar imaging, MR spectroscopy, Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI), Diffusion Tensor Imaging with Fiber tracking, Functional MRI, and MRI Perfusion including ASL and DSC methods.
OHSU maintains 9 CT units including:- Phillips ICT 256
- Toshiba Aquillion
- 2 Philips 64
- 3 Philips 16 multidetector
- 2 hybrid Philips 16 scanners, including a PET/CT and SPECT/CT
OHSU provides ample opportunity for direct radiology research and collaborative research with the clinical subspecialties. There are extensive online resources and journals available through the OHSU library. The Advanced Imaging Research Center (AIRC) specializes in biomedical research with a focus in MR science and houses 3 magnets including a Siemens 3T, a Philips 7T, and a 12T animal magnet. In 2016, OHSU opened the Center for Radiochemistry Research. The center has lab space, clean rooms for the synthesis of diagnostic agents and a cyclotron for isotope generation.
