The University of Washington (UW) is the nation’s top public educational and research institution. The School of Medicine has been ranked second in the world, among the top two recipients of federal research grants. Our hospitals consistently rank among the very best for patient care in the nation, as does the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center (FHCC) for cancer care delivery. The UW Department of Radiology is internationally recognized as dynamic, progressive, and high impact in the field of Diagnostic Imaging. Our academic enterprise complements the clinical, teaching and research activities of one of the nation's leading healthcare delivery enterprises.

The University of Washington/Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Molecular Imaging and Therapy service is based at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, South Lake Union Campus. This rapidly growing service provides nuclear medicine diagnostic and therapy services and offers clinical trial opportunities for UW and Fred Hutch patients in an outpatient setting. The clinical PET/CT and general nuclear medicine imaging services have experienced steady growth for the past 5 years. Under the leadership of the Director of Molecular Imaging and Therapy, Dr. Delphine Chen, and Theranostics Director Dr. Amir Iravani, the clinical therapy practice at Fred Hutch has grown exponentially in volume, with a rapidly growing Lu-177 PSMA and Lu-177 dotatate therapy services, expanded I-131 thyroid cancer service, and participation in multiple radiopharmaceutical therapy trials. Consultation services for both patients and providers have also expanded significantly, leading to highly collaborative, multidisciplinary participation of nuclear medicine in the oncology practice at Fred Hutch. The recent addition of a PET/MR scanner and plans for additional PET/CT and SPECT/CT camera installments will further increase clinical volumes and provide ample opportunities for clinical and translational research. As a result of this rapid growth, UW/Fred Hutch seeks to add a full-time clinical nuclear medicine physician or nuclear radiologist to the practice.
