Abstract

Radiology research at Canadian institutions is advancing patient care through multidisciplinary collaboration, technological innovation, and quality improvement initiatives. Investigators at Dalhousie University, the University of British Columbia (UBC), the University of Ottawa, and Université de Montréal are leading efforts in diverse areas of imaging research, including lung cancer detection, sports medicine imaging, mammography and supplemental screening, and advanced imaging modalities. Dalhousie researchers have developed initiatives for incidental lung nodule management and imaging protocol optimization to ensure efficient and high-quality care. At UBC, investigations into imaging appropriateness and sports medicine imaging at elite athletic competitions are shaping global practice standards. The University of Ottawa has played a key role in refining mammography guidelines, improving early breast cancer detection and influencing national screening practices. The Université de Montréal is advancing innovations in cardiovascular and neurovascular imaging, contributing to improved diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic planning. Collectively, these contributions highlight Canada's pivotal role in the global radiology community and its ongoing commitment to improving patient outcomes through research and innovation. This article reviews major research initiatives from several leading Canadian institutions and highlights the ongoing need for collaboration and innovation to further elevate the quality and effectiveness of radiology practices worldwide.
