Leadership & Organization

Letter From the Chair

Our department provides radiological services for the UofL Health - UofL Hospital, the Robley Rex Veteran Affairs Medical Center, UofL Health - Jewish Hospital and other sites related to the fully integrated regional academic UofL Health Care system. These hospitals have state-of-the-art equipment and are committed to expert care. The centers together produce over 400,000 studies annually and provide a wide variety of clinical exposure related to our Level 1 trauma center (the first trauma care center in the nation dating back to 1911), a comprehensive cancer center (Brown Cancer Center) and the only organ transplant center in the city.

We are a highly specialized department with faculty dedicated to unique clinical foci who are also teaching residents and medical students the constantly evolving field of radiology. Faculty and residents work together with other medical specialties in a multi-disciplinary approach to patient care.

I am honored to lead and represent this exceptional group of faculty, trainees and staff here at UofL and encourage you to explore our web pages.

Sincerely,

Sohail Contractor, MD, FSIR
J.T. Ling, MD, Endowed Professor & Chair of Radiology
