About Us

The UC San Diego Liver Imaging Group (LIG) is a multi-disciplinary laboratory of radiologists, imaging scientists, physicists, statisticians, analysts, coordinators, and trainees. Our research is supported by the National Institutes of Health, the Foundation of the National Institutes of Health, the Department of Defense, the American College of Radiology, and industry. We also serve as an imaging analysis center for multisite clinical trials. We offer training in clinical research to trainees at all levels from high school students interested in internships through faculty at other universities as visiting scholars.

Our lab is a unit of the Department of Radiology within the UC San Diego School of Medicine. The lab is located within the Altman Clinical and Translational Research Institute where we have access to an on-site state of the art MRI facility, multiple ultrasound machines, point of care MR and ultrasound devices, and an on-site clinic.

We believe in the open sharing of resources and information and therefore provide free educational lectures and other materials on our Resources page.
