Why Choose MIR?

Experience counts.  You expect to receive top quality care from experienced physicians at your health care center.  You should have the same expectations from your diagnostic imaging facility.  Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology at Washington University has been delivering the highest quality care since 1931

You have the advantage of Washington University School of Medicine physicians who are affiliated with the world-renowned Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology and the top-ranked Barnes-Jewish Hospital. Our radiologists and nuclear physicians are consistently ranked among the best in the nation by surveys such as America's Top Doctors (Castle & Connolly) and The Best Doctors in America (Best Doctors, Inc).

More than 760,000 radiology examinations and procedures are performed at the Institute annually—and this combination translates into a smoother process and greater accuracy.
