As a pediatric radiology fellow at Children’s Hospital, you'll receive training on the following imaging techniques:
- CT
- Flouroscopy
- MRI
- Radiography
- Ultrasound
CT
CT scans are useful for viewing thoracic, abdominal, pelvic, brain, spine, and extremity pathology.
Fellows will:
- Record, interpret, and staff out both traditional CT and special CT scans including CT angiography.
- Focus on techniques to reduce radiation exposure while maintaining diagnostic quality.
Fluoroscopy
Fellows will:
- Gain extensive experience in pediatric fluoroscopy, notably of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary systems.
- Take part in fluoroscopic interventions, including intussusception reductions.
- Focus on radiation dose reduction methods and techniques.
MRI
Fellows will plan, interpret, and staff out pediatric MRI to assess the following processes:
- Musculoskeletal
- Abdominal
- Thoracic
- Neuro
- Fetal
- Heart and vascular
Training includes:
- MRA/MRV
- Whole body MRI
- MR elastography
Radiographs
Pediatric fellows will:
- Have exposure to a spectrum of disease processes ranging from routine outpatient clinic imaging to the radiographic management of extremely preterm infants.
- Take part in daily radiology rounds with the NICU teams.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is a vital tool in the pediatric radiology arsenal.
Fellows will learn a wide range of pediatric ultrasound including:
- Abdominal
- Vascular
- Small parts (thyroid and testicular)
Fellows will also have exposure to:
- Neonatal intracranial ultrasound
- Spinal ultrasound
- Microbubble contrast ultrasound
- Ultrasound elastography
