A one year fellowship is offered in women’s imaging.
This includes six months of breast imaging and six months rotating among
ultrasound areas at Vanderbilt University Hospital, The Vanderbilt Clinic
and The Center for Women’s Imaging. Exposure to pelvic MRI is also available.
The program provides training in the basic principles and clinical use of
mammography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of
breast disease. A new breast center with all digital mammography and a dedicated
magnetic resonance scanner is expected to open by the fall of 2008. The program
provides exposure to obstetrical and gynecological as well as general ultrasound.
Hands-on experience is encouraged. State-of-the-art Philips, Siemens and GE
scanners are available at the different facilities.
The duties of the women’s imaging fellow include supervising
and interpreting imaging studies, training radiology residents, medical students and
sonography students, performing breast related interventional procedures as well
as hysterosalpingograms and sonohysterograms, and conducting conferences. Opportunities
for clinical or basic science research are also available.
Medical licensure in the state of Tennessee and Board eligibility
in Diagnostic Radiology are prerequisite for this fellowship.
There has been an unexpected opening for a Women’s Imaging Fellowship
position beginning July 1, 2009. We welcome applications from qualified applicants who are Radiology
Board certified or eligible by this date.
