The MSK Imaging fellowship is a one-year post-radiology CCT training program. The fellowship provides clinical experience across a full range of disorders affecting the adult musculoskeletal system. The program includes the application and interpretation of the full range of MSK imaging procedures including radiography, fluoroscopy, US, CT, MRI, MR arthrography and image-guided percutaneous biopsy. There will be the opportunity to gain experience in CT intervention including image guided spinal intervention for pain management and MSK cryoablation cases. There are several orthopaedic and rheumatologic meeting including soft tissue sarcoma that fellows can participate in. There are two fellowship positions, start dates in February and August.
The post will include one session a week of dedicated research time and fellows will be expected to produce at least one peer reviewed research project over the course of the year. There is also opportunity for one session of paediatric MSK radiology if desired.
We have two 1.5T MRI scanners, a 3T MRI and four CT scanners ranging from 128 multi-slice systems and a dual source CT. Orthopaedic out-patients and elective surgery are based at the BGH where there is a third 1.5T MRI scanner. There are MSK ultrasound lists running at both sites offering diagnostic and therapeutic image guided biopsy and injection services.
There may be opportunity to contribute to additional paid reporting sessions for those interested.
