Oncologic Imaging Fellowship

The Oncologic Imaging fellowship program is a comprehensive, two-year non-ACGME fellowship program consisting of training in abdominal imaging, cardiovascular and thoracic imaging, nuclear medicine PET imaging, and oncologic staging and follow-up imaging. One PGY6 fellow will enter training after completing an internship (PGY1) and diagnostic radiology residency program (PGY2-5). These fellows will be supervised by full-time, board-certified abdominal, cardiovascular and thoracic, nuclear medicine and clinical trials imaging faculty.

The abdominal imaging training months will emphasize cross-sectional abdominal imaging and coordinated experience in CT, ultrasound and MRI. We provide an optimal combination of high-volume advanced imaging, case variety, and academic and research time to produce experts in the field of abdominal imaging. Fellows will participate in weekly/bi-weekly multi-disciplinary tumor board conferences, where they will present imaging cases.

The cardiovascular and thoracic training months will train radiologists to become experts in interpreting all cardiothoracic imaging modalities, including chest x-ray, CT, MRI and vascular studies, including angiography, venography, coronary artery imaging, cardiac MRI and presurgical planning vascular imaging. Fellows will participate in weekly multidisciplinary tumor board conferences and vascular surgery conferences, where they will present imaging cases.

The PET training months are intended to supplement the primary training in abdominal imaging and cardiovascular and thoracic imaging to focus on PET imaging for oncologic conditions, including staging and follow-up.
