The Department of Radiology at The University of Chicago has two abdominal imaging fellowship positions for July 2009. The University of Chicago Hospitals is a 675 bed-licensed hospital and the department performs 300,000 exams per year.

The Abdominal Imaging Fellowship is a one-year comprehensive fellowship comprising clinical, teaching, and research activity in all aspects of abdominal imaging using all available modalities, including dedicated MRI rotations. The clinical experience combines a regional population of patients providing a strong base of emergency and primary presentation exams with a strong outpatient and inpatient tertiary referral center providing a high volume of oncology, surgery, gastroenterology, transplantation and emergency referrals. CT focuses on problem solving, detailed and tailored examinations, such as multiphase hepatic CT, renal and adrenal mass characterization and negative contrast luminal examinations.

The MRI experience includes dedicated liver, pancreas, adrenal, renal and pelvic imaging including MR angiography, cholangiography, prostate MRI, MR enterography and fetal MRI. This rotation also affords the Fellow the opportunity to participate in non-abdominal applications if desired.

Ultrasound offers the gamut of abdominal studies, small parts ultrasound, and percutaneous biopsies, as well as color and spectral Doppler vascular and transplant studies. Fellows have the opportunity to gain additional expertise in vascular ultrasound and ob-gyn ultrasound as needed. Fellows can participate in a wide gamut of gastrointestinal and genitourinary examinations.

Our cutting edge equipment includes six superconducting magnets, with a second 3.0T magnet to be installed this year, six multislice helical CT scanners, including 64 slice capability (and a 256 slice scanner to be installed this year), an all Acuson/Siemens ultrasound area and digital fluoroscopy.
