Thomas Jefferson University
Department of Radiology
The Department of Radiology at Thomas Jefferson University has a history that dates back to 1896, the year after Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen discovered x-rays. Originally located in the department of Pathology, many of the early Jefferson faculty were leaders in the development of Radiology as a separate medical specialty. A distinguished succession of radiologists has served as chair of the department beginning with Willis F. Manges, M.D. who was appointed in 1904.
Over the years many members and graduates of the department have held prominent positions in radiology societies, and have made important scientific contributions to the field of medical imaging. Today the Jefferson Department of Radiology is recognized as one of the premier departments in the country based on academic productivity, clinical expertise and excellence in educational programs.
