Our radiology faculty members are all certified by the American Board of Radiology and are committed to resident education. To find out more about the Diagnostic Radiology Residency, continue reading, or click on any of the following listings below to go directly to that topic. The five-year Diagnostic Radiology Residency includes an initial transitional clinical year, followed by four years of diagnostic radiology, all within the same program. Another option exists to enter radiology training at the PGY 2 level. The clinical year can be tailored to the interests of the individual resident, but will include basic medical and surgical rotations and two months in radiology.
Subsequent years follow the sample Schedule of Rotations listed below.
Rotations at the nearby Alred I. duPont Hospital for Children and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia also provide unique supplemental training. Radiology training is based primarily at Christiana Hospital, a 780-bed facility opened in 1985. Department staff performs over 250,000 examinations annually. Three modern angiographic suites support a busy angiography and interventional radiology service, which annually performs more than 5,000 procedures. Magnetic resonance imaging capabilities include a GE Signa 1.5 Tesla scanner and a Siemens 1.0 Tesla Magnetom unit and a Siemens 1.5 Tesla Symphony scanner, all with magnetic resonance angiography and FSE capability.
