Dr. Baumgartner's journey as a radiologist began as a medical student at Emory School of Medicine, where he graduated number two in his class (Magna Cum Laude). He then spent time at the University of Utah, where he completed an internship and residency in internal medicine. After medical school, Dr. Baumgartner then returned to Emory as a radiology resident and stayed on to join the faculty, making Atlanta and Emory his home. In the following years Dr. Baumgartner joined the Abdominal Division and genitourinary radiology became his area of interest.

Dean's Teaching Award
Our students have the great advantage of being taught by outstanding teachers and role models. Each year the faculty and students choose six to eight individuals to receive the Dean's Teaching Award. In 2011, Dr. Stefan Tigges of Cardiothoracic Imaging was awarded the Dean's Teaching Award for his dedication to quality education and enthusiasm as a mentor to students.
Multispectral Imaging: Mathematical Models, Algorithms and Software
Principal Investigator: Ioannis Sechopoulos, PhD, James Nagy, MD
This project focuses on the development of novel mathematical and computational methods for spectral reconstruction in tomographic breast imaging. The polyenergetic imaging process is nonlinear,: therefore spectral reconstruction is an ill-posed inverse problem that provides great challenges to the development and analysis of mathematical models and computational methods.

Investing in the Advances of Residency
Dr. Richard Colvin, Emeritus Professor of Radiology, recently made a generous gift establishing the Radiology Residency Education Endowment Fund. This endowment will provide financial support to ensure that Emory residents continue to have access to advancements and education within the discipline of Radiology.

Our field is in constant evolution. At first, radiology was a specialty that solely relied on x-ray-based methods for visualizing gross aberrations in anatomy in order to diagnose disease. Today, our array of tools is vast and highly sophisticated, our approach to imaging inherently both structural and functional, and image-guided therapeutics is an increasing part of our scope. Technologies that did not even exist 20 years ago are now incorporated into our daily clinical practice. The rapid pace of change in radiology is one of its most desirable and exciting features.
