Overview
This dedicated breast imaging fellowship offers advanced training in breast imaging in our state of the art, high volume Womens’ Imaging Center and outpatient David H Koch Center. Fellows develop expertise in all imaging modalities required to provide the complete spectrum of care. This includes screening, diagnostic imaging, image-guided interventions, and image-guided localizations. Fellows are exposed to high volumes of examinations and procedures. Annually we see over 40,000 mammograms with digital breast tomosynthesis, over 1000 MRIs, and over 7,000 biopsies and procedures are performed including MRI guided and I-125 seed localizations, with steadily increasing caseload. Fellows have the opportunity to not only participate in, but to lead multidisciplinary conferences with breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, genetic counselors, and pathologists.
Rotation Breakdown
This is a dedicated breast imaging fellowship with two four-week blocks of elective time.
