Chest Fellowship
The Chest fellowship provides experience in all aspects of thoracic radiology including interpretation of plain films, cross-sectional imaging including all thoracic CT and MRI. Experience in PET CT imaging will also be acquired. All thoracic interventional procedures are also performed by the thoracic division including pleural, mediastinal, lung and chest wall biopsies as well as diagnostic pleural taps. The fellow will also be given two months of elective in cardiovascular imaging. The division works closely with both pulmonary medicine and thoracic surgery in planning patient care. To this end, fellows are expected to present the cases for our three interdisciplinary conferences, two of which are weekly (Thoracic surgery/Radiology/Pathology and Pulmonary/Radiology conferences) and one of which is monthly (Interventional thoracic Radiology/Pathology conference). All fellows are expected to participate in research and are given one academic day per week starting two months after the start of the fellowship. Fellows are also expected to participate in education of residents and medical students and to participate in Resident lectures.p>
