Magnetic Resonance Imaging Fellowship

The VCU Department of Radiology offers a one-year fellowship in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). This fellowship is geared towards learning all aspects of MR imaging and may include rotations in abdominal and pelvic MRI, cardiovascular MRI, musculoskeletal MRI and neuro MRI in variable combinations. The fellowship experience is flexible, allowing for training in desired areas of interest. 

Fellows will learn how to develop and optimize MR protocols utilizing the most advanced MR imaging techniques in addition to interpreting MR studies. We have state-of-the-art imaging capabilities at multiple clinical sites. Fellows will also have the opportunity to participate in all activities on a given rotation including non-vascular interventions.

Fellows will participate in section specific teaching activities and conferences, tumor boards and clinical conferences. The fellow may choose to participate in research activities, however, this is not a requirement. A range of MR teaching files are available for the fellow’s use.

Our training is aimed at providing diverse exposure to all aspects of MR imaging including all advanced MR applications. The fellow will learn MR protocol development and optimization as well as study interpretation. Optional experience with nonvascular interventions utilizing multimodality imaging guidance is also provided.
