History of the Department

The University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Radiology has a rich history of innovating the field of radiology. The Department began from humble beginnings on May 18, 1927, when the Board of Regents appointed Dr. Ernst Pohle as the first professor of radiology. Since then, we have grown to 125 faculty members and 11 sections. Learn more about our greatest achievements and milestones below:
