The VIR section participates in multiple interdisciplinary conferences such as tumor board and surgery M &M conferences. Didactic and case-based teaching conferences are an integral part of the residency education.

The MMC VIR section is involved in multiple ongoing research projects and supervised resident participation in research is strongly encouraged. Recent past residents have been able to match with their first choice fellowship programs in IR.

Monmouth's Nuclear Medicine Department is fully equipped with Gamma cameras, SPECT cameras and computer systems. The Breast Center has mammographic including digital, ultrasound, stereotactic and breast interventional equipment. Approximately 125,000 examinations are done each year. Studies are interpreted in a central reading area equipped with a mini-PACS that is also accessible throughout the hospital and on the internet. Workstations for post processing evaluation of imaging studies are present in the reading room as well.
