Nashville, TN—Vanderbilt’s Department of Radiology and Radiological Sciences is proud to announce a new $2 million endowment for Leadership Development. In creation of this fund, VUMC Radiology will expand its reputation for cultivating innovators by permanently establishing a resource to support our mission for years to come.

  VUMC Radiology is proud to share its vision for our new and fully-operational location in Nashville’s Green Hills—located at 3841 Green Hills Village Drive—which had its ribbon cut in 2023. The new radiology center further expands our commitment to exceptional patient care and advancing medical education—and is a substantial addition to VUMC radiology facilities.

VUMC Radiology's Medical Director of Breast Imaging Services, Katie Davis, DO, recently spoke with the Nashville Post about a new law on supplemental imaging for breast screenings.  The new Tennessee legislation requires health plans to cover diagnostic imaging and supplemental breast screening without cost to the patient. This law removes the costs of this imaging, and with it a barrier to early breast cancer detection. 

VUMC Radiology is excited to share the promotion of Marques Bradshaw, MD, MSCR, to the position of Professor of Radiology and Radiological Sciences.“Working in a department that doesn’t just talk the talk but walks it, has been thoroughly rewarding,” says Dr. Bradshaw. “I couldn’t be happier with the results, and it is a true honor to have the designation of Professor bestowed upon me.”Dr. Bradshaw has been an invaluable member of VUMC since joining as faculty in 2017.
