Magnetic Resonance Imaging Fellowship

Two, one-year fellowships a year are offered in Magnetic Resonance Imaging focused on MSK and Body MR imaging with some additional exposure to spinal neurologic MR imaging. The fellowship includes exposure at Parkland Memorial Hospital, Rogers Magnetic Resonance Center, and Meadows Diagnostic Imaging Center. All faculty are MRI fellowship-trained.

MRI fellows are exposed to a wide range of patients and the disease/injury of all organ systems in both hospital and outpatient environments. This includes a full range of examinations involving the:

  • Musculoskeletal

In addition, to a lesser extent, fellows are involved with spine, TMJ, and neck imaging. The fellow is responsible for planning, monitoring, and interpretation of these examinations. Responsibilities also include assisting in resident education and training.

At least 10 months of the fellowship is spent on the MRI services, with one or two months of rotations scheduled in other imaging areas, including ultrasound and CT.

Conferences

Radiology resident teaching conferences are held twice daily throughout the year and include both didactic lectures and case-based presentations. Fellows are welcome to attend these conferences, as service duties allow. Fellows are also welcome to present conferences in this forum.

Radiology Grand Rounds are held monthly with prestigious visiting and local professors, offering the opportunity to meet and learn from leading national authorities on a wide variety of topics.

Informative multidisciplinary clinical conferences in combination with medicine, surgery, pathology, and the various clinical subspecialties are available.

Research

Intellectual vibrancy and technological innovation are core values of the Department, which are developed through research and collaborative efforts of the clinical faculty and Department PhDs.
