All About the MS in Biomedical Imaging

The Master of Science in Biomedical Imaging program provides comprehensive training in the principles and methods underlying the major imaging modalities used in clinical radiology and pathology. Faculty members are world leaders in the development and utilization of imaging biomarkers across a broad range of human diseases, with expertise in physics, radiology, engineering, mathematics, radiochemistry, and pathology. 

Students directly apply knowledge gained in their first-year courses during the five semesters of their thesis through one of two tracks:

• Students in the Laboratory Track complete an imaging research thesis project in one of the imaging research laboratories at Weill Cornell or Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
• Students in the Clinical Track complete a thesis project designed around innovations in the practice of radiology with a faculty member devoted to clinical service and innovation.

This program prepares students to pursue:

• Additional academic training in PhD programs. Past students have gone on to doctoral programs including Northwestern University and Washington University St. Louis. Options also exist to earn a PhD at one of several programs at Cornell (Biomedical Engineering, Biophysics), and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (Cancer Biology, Cancer Engineering).
• Professional roles in the pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and imaging equipment  industries and in healthcare systems. Past students have gone on to research associate, medical technologist, and radiochemist positions.
