The Department of Radiology currently offers a one-year clinical fellowship in Body Imaging. There are four funded positions. In recent years, fellows have also had one to two months of experience on the Breast Imaging Service. Fellows will receive experience in all cross-sectional studies of the chest, abdomen, pelvis and musculoskeletal system. Fellows will also be exposed to vascular scanning and participate in image-guided biopsies and other procedures.
Research is encouraged and fellows are assigned blocks of time to pursue research interests.
Also of interest may be the 2-year NCI Fellowship , which includes six months of clinical body imaging rotation and 18 months of research. Research time is provided during the fellowship for academic projects. The Division of Cardiovascular-Interventional Radiology accepts three fellows annually. Cardiovascular-Interventional Radiology is an integral component of the Vascular Center at Stanford which provides a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with vascular disease. There are ample research opportunities in both vascular and non-vascular interventional radiology and fellows are actively encouraged to pursue individual interests and present at national meetings.
