The Department of Diagnostic Radiology at Bridgeport Hospital offers a four-year residency training program, approved by the ACGME for 16 residents. Entry is made through NRMP after appropriate application through ERAS administered by the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC).

Bridgeport Hospital is a large 450-bed community hospital affiliated with Yale University School of Medicine. Residents are exposed to a variety of patients from the community with a wide range of medical needs. Both the inpatient and outpatient population reflect the diseases of the diverse immigrant populations represented in the Greater Bridgeport area. In addition, the hospital serves a large middle and upper-middle class residential community from Fairfield County. The diversity of the patient population ensures that residents experience a wide range of disease entities.

The Radiology Department is equipped with the most up-to-date multi-detector, with a 64 slice CT to be installed in the Emergency Department in the near future. Other equipment includes: a 1.5 Tesla magnetic resonance scanner, mobile PET/CT, 12 routine diagnostic rooms, four fluoroscopic rooms with closed circuit television and cine capabilities, an all-digital modern angiographic suite and a suite for uroradiological procedures. Ultrasound and Nuclear Medicine Units offer high-tech equipment for gray-scale ultrasonography and isotopic studies, including three gamma cameras, all digital with SPECT capabilities and computer software dedicated to computerized flow and quantitative radioisotopic procedures. A state of the art mammography suite includes a Mammotone for stereotactic breast core biopsies.

A state of the art Radiology information system maintains all orders, results and statistics for the entire department and this information system is interfaced with the entire hospital information system for improved patient care. Filmless images from the PACS systems can be viewed not only in the Radiology Department, but in other related clinical and educational areas in the hospital.

Radiology averages more than 90,000 diagnostic examinations annually, including approximately 3,000 nuclear medicine studies, 7,000 ultrasound studies, 22,000 computerized tomographic scans, and 1,000 MR scans in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Center. Special procedures offered include arthrography, myelography, kyphoplasty, hysterosalpingography, cholangiography, and all interventional procedures including vascular angioplasties and endovascular stenting, uterine fibroid embolization, uroradiological nephrolithotripsy and radiofrequency ablation.
