The ultrasound department at UHN is a national and global leader in patient‑centered care innovations.

The thyroid biopsy specialist program was launched, where sonographers are trained to independently perform ultrasound‑guided fine‑needle biopsies, reducing exam wait times and improving sample adequacy rates. As a tertiary care hospital, the Toronto General Hospital site has Canada’s largest transplant program, in which close to 4,000 transplant Doppler ultrasound exams are performed annually. Be part of our journey to shape the future of medical imaging through innovation, groundbreaking research, education, and excellence in patient care.
