Research in the Clinical Radiology Department

Researchers often feel tangled in a web of bureaucracy when attempting to conduct their research. However, it is vital that researchers get involved and develop review processes such as those described above, which facilitate animal research yet address the important ethical, legal, and other related issues raised by hospital administrators and the public. As we do so, it is vital that we communicate directly with the public. Without this participation, we will find more and more hospital radiology departments closing their doors to animal-based research.
