Clinical Research

Clinical research in the Division of Clinical Radiology is supported by an infrastructure consisting of a Director, the Clinical Research Committee, and a clinical research coordinator, Svetlana Vassilieva, M.D. Dr. Vassilieva holds a medical degree and provides traditional research coordination.

All research studies utilizing Diagnostic Imaging hospital/affiliated facilities imaging equipment or research studies requesting a Diagnostic Radiology clinical research coordinator must be reviewed and approved by the YDR Clinical Research Committee*. Go to Clinical Research Support page on our internal website for contact information and forms. (requires YDR password)

*Note: Imaging research performed at the MRRC or Research PET Centers is reviewed separately and under the jurisdiction of the Division of Bioimaging Sciences.

This web site is intended to help clinical researchers to obtain information for conducting productive imaging research. If you are already engaged in such research, this page leads to information that you may find useful, such as getting research coordinator support for your project, statistics, finding information and links about funding sources, Yale University support programs and infrastructure, training and compliance requirements, and requisite forms. Ongoing clinical imaging research in the Department of Diagnostic Radiology is also listed here. If you are new to imaging research, the following section explains how to get started.

You can find a compendium of information with resource links devoted to supporting faculty research, including the Yale Sponsored Projects Handbook and Principal Investigators Policies on the Office for Faculty Policies website.
