The Albany Medical Center Radiology Department has a long history of biomedical and clinical research. The residents are strongly encouraged to participate as active members of investigative teams. Financial support is provided for those who are selected to present their research at national conferences, including the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the Association of University Radiologists (AUR), the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS), the Society for Vascular and Interventional Radiology (SCVIR), and Society of Nuclear Medicine(SNM).

Publications have been authored in most disciplines with a strong representation in body imaging, cardiothoracic imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, vascular and interventional radiology, and nuclear medicine.
