Department of Radiology
The Edward Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology — more commonly known as Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology or MIR — serves as the Department of Radiology for Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, helping to guide the consulting physician in the discovery, the treatment, and, ultimately, the healing of disease. Established in 1930, MIR is one of the largest and most scientifically sophisticated radiology centers worldwide.
Internationally recognized for its groundbreaking research, the Institute continues to pioneer new radiological techniques for better patient care.
Milestones
- Development of the first diagnostic test for gallbladder disease
- Design and construction of the first cross-sectional X-ray laminagraph
- Collaboration on design and installation of the first cyclotron located in a U.S. medical center
- Development of positron emission tomography (PET)
- Installation of one of the world's first computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) scanners
- Interfacing of a minicomputer with a gamma camera to improve the accuracy and efficiency of nuclear medicine procedures
- Establishment of the first mobile mammography van west of the Mississippi River
- Integration of CT and MR scans with a three-dimensional technology application of organic chemistry to the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals used in medical imaging
- Measurement of cerebral blood flow and metabolism
- Establishment of one of the largest and most comprehensive interventional radiology services in the United States
- Application of PET for measuring metabolic activity in relation to cardiac blood flow
- Early adoption of sequential PET/MR imaging
The Institute occupies more than 400,000 total square feet and comprises its own 12-story building, with satellite facilities in Barnes-Jewish and St. Louis Children's hospitals; the Clinical Sciences Research and East buildings; the Scott Avenue Imaging Center; the Center for Advanced Medicine; the Knight Emergency and Trauma Center; and the South County Siteman Cancer Center. The department provides diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine and radiation physics services for all hospitals in the Washington University Medical Center, Barnes-Jewish West County and Barnes-Jewish St. Peters hospitals. The Institute also provides diagnostic radiology for the Washington University Orthopedic and Barnes-Jewish Hospital Outpatient Orthopedic center.
MIR clinical facilities are on several floors of the Institute, with general diagnostic radiology on the second floor; neuroradiology on the third floor; gastrointestinal and genitourinary radiology and ultrasonography on the fourth floor; and MRI on the fifth floor. A comprehensive interventional radiology center occupies the eighth floor. Nuclear medicine is on the ninth floor of the Barnes-Jewish Hospital West Pavilion. Orthopedic imaging and musculoskeletal radiology services are on the sixth floor of the Center for Advanced Medicine. The Breast Health Center, on the fifth floor of the Center for Advanced Medicine, is a multidisciplinary facility that provides a full range of breast imaging services and interventional procedures. In the north wing of St. Louis Children's Hospital is a complete pediatric radiology facility, offering ultrasound, nuclear medicine, CT and MRI, and interventional radiology.
The Institute has 102 examination rooms used for diagnostic radiology. Clinical and research equipment includes two PET/CT scanners, 13 CT scanners, two PET scanners, one PET/MR scanner, 15 MR scanners (including an 11.7-Tesla research scanner), 12 high-end ultrasound machines (plus seven portable units), nine interventional radiology systems, five digital chest units, 10 computer radiography units, two neurointerventional radiology systems and six mammography units. In addition, as part of the department's community outreach effort, the Institute co-sponsors with the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center a mobile mammography van that provides screening services at corporate and public sites in the St. Louis area.
MIR has approximately 200,000 square feet devoted to research, with facilities in the Clinical Sciences Research Building (radiological sciences), in the East Building (electronic radiology), in the Scott Avenue Imaging Center (neurological PET, molecular pharmacology, biomedical MR imaging, optical imaging and cardiovascular imaging), and in the Center for Clinical Imaging Research (a bioimaging facility for basic and translational inpatient and outpatient clinical research).
Administrative, teaching and support functions occupy the sixth floor and the ninth through the 12th floors of the Institute. Information and training related to the use of radioactive materials is handled by Environmental Health and Safety; for more information, contact the department's director Maxwell Amurao, PhD, MBA, at 314-362-2988 or maxwell.amurao@wustl.edu.

Tom Conturo, MD, PhD
East Building, 2nd Floor, Rm 2120
Phone: 314-362-8421
Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a noninvasive means of providing images of the human body at high spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity. The contrast can be manipulated to depend on different properties of tissue water, enabling the study of a variety of biological processes. In some cases, endogenous or exogenous paramagnetic MR contrast agents are used to alter the MRI contrast by perturbing the tissue water environment. Recently, new MRI hardware has also enabled techniques having high temporal resolution. Using the unique contrast properties of MRI and the higher spatial/temporal resolution, noninvasive techniques can be devised to study neuronal activity, tissue perfusion, water mobility (diffusion), and neuronal fiber pathways in the human brain. The goals of Dr. Conturo's research lab are to develop and apply MR imaging techniques for quantitative imaging of cerebral perfusion, brain function, water diffusion, and neuronal fiber pathways. These techniques utilize the MR signal effects of exogenous bolus-injected contrast agents, endogenous hemoglobin, and microscopic water diffusion. Long-term goals are to apply these methodologies toward imaging and understanding tissue structure, function, and physiology in the brain and other organs in normal and abnormal conditions. The approaches that are used in this laboratory cover a broad range of areas, including MRI physics, MRI pulse sequence development, theoretical derivations, computer simulations, image-processing, computer graphics, custom contrast agent design and syntheois, phantom studies, animal models, human studies, clinical patient studies, and comparison with other imaging modalities.
Farrokh Dehdashti, MD
Nuclear Medicine PET Facility, 10th Floor, Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology
Phone: 314-362-1474
Positron emission tomography (PET) is an imaging technique that produces images reflective of biochemical processes of normal and abnormal tissues. PET is complementary to anatomic imaging modalities such as computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The ability of PET to quantify fundamental processes, such as blood flow, oxygen metabolism, glucose metabolism, and receptor density, makes this technique very desirable to both investigators and clinicians. Dr. Dehdashti's research utilizes the conventional PET radiopharmaceutical, F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), as well as a variety of unique PET radiopharmaceuticals such as Cu-64-diacetyl-bis(N4-methylthiosemicarbazone) (Cu-64 ATSM), a hypoxic imaging tracer, and 18F-labeled 3'-deoxy-3'fluorothymidine (FLT), a proliferative imaging tracer. Below is a partial list of the research projects relating to PET: (1) PET assessment of progesterone receptors in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer with a new progesterone-receptor imaging tracer, 21-[18F]Fluoro-16,17-[(R)-1'–furylmethylidene)dioxy]-19-norpregn-4-ene-3,20 dione (FFNP); (2) assessment of cell proliferation with a new tracer, N-(4-(6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-2(1H)-yl)butyl)-2 (2-[18F]-fluoroethoxy)-5-methylbenzamide ([18F]3c), also called [18F]ISO-1 by imaging sigma receptors in patients with various solid cancers; (3) PET assessment of tumor hypoxia using 64Cu-ATSM in patients with cervical cancer (the major goal of this project is to predict prognosis); (4) FDG-PET/CT study in cervical cancer to evaluate the change in tumor FDG heterogeneity and SUVmax during chemoradiation and whether these changes are predictive of response to therapy; (5) PET using [18F]FHBG (9-[4-fluoro-3-hydroxymethyl-butyl]guanine), analog of Penciclovir, an acycloguanosine derivative and antiviral drug, for possible tracking of GvHD in patients who were prior recipients of unrelated allogeneic bone marrow transplant for any hematologic malignancy; and (6) FLT-PET/CT to assess tumor cell proliferation in patient must have histologically or cytologically confirmed ER+ stage IV or metastatic invasive breast cancer.

The focus of our lab is on cardiovascular imaging research. The research in the Cardiovascular Imaging Laboratory is designed to better understand the relationship between myocardial perfusion, intermediary metabolism and mechanical function in both normal and abnormal cardiac states. The research involves the integration of several imaging techniques with diverse strengths such as PET, MRI, CT and echocardiography. The success of the research requires several paths of investigation to be pursued in parallel. For example, in order to image the biologic processes of interest requires continued technical developments for each of the imaging methods listed above. There are ongoing efforts to permit more accurate PET measurements of myocardial substrate metabolism. They include the development of novel tracers of extracted substrates, the development of acquisition schemes to assess endogenous substrate metabolism, and the validation of mathematical approaches to correlate the tracer kinetics with the underlying metabolic processes. These studies are being pursued in small and large animal models and then in humans. Another example includes the current efforts to develop approaches to image the coronary arteries noninvasively by MRI using novel contrast agents and acquisition schemes. In addition, techniques are being developed to permit MR guided interventions on the coronary arteries. This undertaking includes the development of novel guide-wire tracking and catheter tracking schemes using both passive and active approaches. Finally, to permit assessments of myocardial oxygenation and thus, perfusion, techniques are being developed to permit BOLD imaging the myocardium. Another path of the research is to determine how this perfusional-metabolic-functional relation is altered by normal life changes and then determine how disease states alter the relationship. For example, both PET and echocardiography are being used to characterize the age- and gender-related changes on myocardial perfusion, substrate metabolism and function. To study the relationship in disease states, similar studies are being performed in patients with diabetes and obesity. A third path is to determine the mechanisms responsible for these changes in this metabolic-functional relation and identify potential interventions that may reverse or ameliorate them. In this regard, similar imaging studies are being performed to determine the importance of nitric oxide and the PPARa system in defining this metabolic-functional relation.

Our research interests lie in the general area of labeled tracer development for nuclear medicine imaging, especially positron-emission tomography (PET). Developmental effort begins with synthesis of target structures, preclinical screening that involves in vitro biochemistry and pharmacological testing, and ex vivo biodistribution studies in small animals. Promising tracers are then examined by in vivo imaging of animal subjects and tracer kinetic modeling. The final step in the transition of a radiochemical into a labeled drug takes into account radiation dosimetry, pharmaceutical quality, and the development of automated production and GMP production processes to streamline delivery to human subjects. Each of these aspects of radiopharmaceutical development are investigated, with a primary emphasis in novel agents for evaluation of pathological processes in neurology and oncology.
