Oncological Neuroradiology and Head & Neck Imaging

The Division of Diagnostic Imaging is accepting applications for a second-year or later fellowship position in oncological neuroradiology. This educational program is for the neuroradiologist interested in a comprehensive program of imaging for brain, spine, head and neck tumors, with a focus on advanced imaging techniques. The fellow rotates on a weekly basis through a wide variety of clinical experiences in the hospital and outpatient settings, attends numerous conferences and participates in research.

The fellowship offers a full-service oncologic neuroradiology experience with 18 neuroradiologists. There is a 1.5 T Siemens’ intraoperative magnet, three 3T GE and one 3T Siemens, 12 1.5T GE and eight 1.5T Siemens magnets with additional small animal magnets available. There are 21 multi-slice CT scanners within the department including three dual source Siemens scanners. Additionally, hybrid units include seven PET-CT and seven SPECT-CT scanners. The Center for Advanced Biomedical Imaging Research (CABIR) allows for true bench-to-clinic research with highly trained medical/ research professionals and dedicated research imaging equipment. The proprietary PACS allows for unparalleled access to images and patient data, allowing for easy generation of case collections and reports.

The Section of Neuroradiology is an integral part of the Brain and Spine Center, which includes a full staff of faculty neuro-oncologists and neurosurgeons. The Brain and Spine Center receives worldwide patient referral, generating unparalleled clinical and radiological experience for the trainee. The Head and Neck Surgery Department is also a premiere oncologic service that receives national and international referral with over 60-70 new tumor patients presenting in the average week. Such diverse case material provides the fellow with exposure to the full gamut of head and neck imaging from primary diagnosis to surveillance in complex post- treatment cases.

The fellow will work closely with the Neuropathology Department during the case conferences and in the analysis of outside referral cases. The Division of Diagnostic Imaging hosts a top-tier Department of Imaging Physics, with 18 full-time faculty and over 16 trainees and/or graduate students. Close collaboration between neuroradiology and physics affords the fellow experience in the latest advanced imaging techniques, such as perfusion, diffusion tensor, and spectroscopic imaging, among others, and a host of imaging software and platforms. This results in an unlimited number of research opportunities with many on-going studies
