Magnetic Resonance Imaging Fellowship
The Fellowship Program in Magnetic Resonance Imaging at Tufts Medical Center is a one year position. Tufts Medical Center is a full-service hospital with a full range of referring clinical practices. Applicants need to be board certified or board eligible to be included in the program.
Program Goals
The primary goal is to familiarize the fellow with reading all types of MRIs, including abdominal, breast, cardiac, musculoskeletal, and neuro. Although the MIR fellowship is not focused on research and research is not required, if a fellow is interested there are multiple ongoing research projects in MRI, including a cartilage MRI imaging project, globe imaging to redefine the model of the blood-aqueous barrier, and a polycystic kidney disease MRI imaging project.
Fellows are also encouraged to attend neuroradiology and orthopedic conferences.
Equipment
MR Equipment available at Tufts Medical Center includes 4 magnets: a 1.5 Tesla GE MRI unit, a 3.0 Tesla Philips Achieva MRI unit and two 1.5 Tesla Philips Achieva MRI unit.
2012-2013 Body MRI Fellowship Position
We are now accepting applications for 2012-2013.
The dedicated MRI fellowship is for the period of 12 months and includes Neuro, MSK, and Body (abdominopelvic, cardiothoracic, and breast). Clinical competence is stressed with interpretation skills as the central focus of the year. Additionally, the fellow will learn protocol strategies, image and throughput optimization as well as a foundation in MRI physics. There are several ongoing research projects in which the fellow may participate.
