Dr. Jean-Martin Baillargeon graduated from Laval University in Quebec City with a degree in diagnostic radiology from the Université de Sherbrooke. He has specialized in neuromuscular and musculoskeletal magnetic resonance imaging, women's imaging and pediatrics in the United States, at Purdue-Indiana University and at Harvard University in Boston. Subsequently, he completed his specialized training in gynecology and obstetrics imaging in London.

Radiologist at the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), Dr. Baillargeon works in the fields of gyneco-obstetric imaging and magnetic resonance imaging (neurological and musculoskeletal).

Dr. Jean-Sébastien Billiard completed his medical studies at the University of Lyon in France in 1988, and his specialty studies in diagnostic radiology also at the University of Lyon in 1993. After completing a fellowship in Abdominal and bone imaging in the radiology department of Fleurimont Hospital at the Université de Sherbrooke in Quebec, he worked at the Bellevue University Hospital (University of St-Etienne, France).

He returned to Quebec as a radiologist and professor at the Université de Sherbrooke in 1999. He joined the CHUM Saint-Luc Hospital radiology team in 2004 and Varad Radiology in 2005.

Dr. Billiard is an associate clinical professor in the Department of Radiology at the Université de Montréal and is particularly involved in the teaching of his specialty.

She completed a year of Clinical Fellowship in Diagnostic and Interventional Musculoskeletal Imaging at the University of Virginia (1993-1994) and, most recently, she graduated from the University of Montreal with a Master of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences (2012-2014).

In 2004, Dr. Bureau received the Bernadette Nogrady Award from the Radiological Society of Quebec to the radiologist with less than 11 years of career having the most illustrated on the academic scene and/or research. In 2012, she received the Excellence and Training Award from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research in the Evaluation and Treatment of Mobility and Postural Disorders (MENTOR Program 2012-2013).

Dr. Bureau was Head of the Musculoskeletal Imaging Section and a member of the CHUM Radiology Department Executive Committee from 2005 to 2013. On the local, national and international scenes, Dr. Bureau has been a guest speaker more than 140 times . Since the beginning of her career, she has published more than 80 scientific articles and book chapters. Dr. Bureau divides her time between her clinical, teaching and research activities.

She is presently an Assistant Clinical Professor for the Department of Radiology at Université de Montréal. She specializes in abdominal imaging and subspeciality is contrast ultrasonography. Her scientific research projects are centered on the development of contrast ultrasonography and the teaching of this method in both Quebec and in Canada.

A medical graduate from the Université de Sherbrooke in 1990, Dr. Perreault completed his specialization in diagnostic radiology in 1995. He continued his training in abdominal and interventional radiology in the hospital network at the Université de Montréal and completed a fellowship of a year in the radiology department of Professors Joffre and Rousseau at Rangueil Hospital in Toulouse, France, where he acquired expertise in vascular and interventional radiology.

Dr. An Tang completed his medical studies at the Université de Sherbrooke in 2000 and his specialty in diagnostic radiology at the Université de Montréal in 2005. After completing a postdoctoral training in abdominal imaging at the University of Toronto in 2006, he joined the CHUM and Radiologie Varad team.

Supported by prestigious Fulbright Scholarships and Canadian Institutes of Health Research, he pursued postgraduate training in liver magnetic resonance imaging research at the University of California, San Diego in 2012.

Dr. Tang is currently Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology at the Université de Montréal. His specialty includes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound of the abdominal and pelvic organs.

Mrs Hamel joined out team in December 2019. She holds a Master’s degree in administration from HEC and possess 17 years of experience in team management. Over the years, she has developed an expertise in business process optimization, reorganization and team building, and in financial reporting.
