Program Description
As a leader in oncology treatment in the southwest, Mayo Clinic
in Scottsdale, Ariz., offers the PET/CT Imaging Fellowship Program.
Positron emission technology (PET) is a rapidly growing imaging
tool used to evaluate oncology patients, often in combination with
computed tomography (CT) imaging. The one-year training program
focuses on PET, PET/CT and other aspects of cross-sectional imaging.
You can also choose to diversify your advanced radiology focus.
What makes this program unique from other standard nuclear medicine
fellowships is the opportunity to further your skills in other cross-sectional
imaging techniques.
The one-year PET/CT Imaging Fellowship Program at Mayo Clinic in
Scottsdale offers:
- Extensive exposure and hands-on experience
with a large group of patients exhibiting a wide range of disease
processes in which PET, cross-sectional imaging and interventional
techniques play important roles.
- Clinical tutelage by multiple fellowship-trained
radiology consultants, many of whom have extensive academic experience
and who are recognized experts in their fields.
- Exposure to state-of-the-art PET, magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI), CT, ultrasound and Picture Archive Communications
System (PACS) equipment.
- Experience in a modern hospital facility
that utilizes a filmless imaging department and an electronic
medical record.
- Close cooperative interaction with outstanding
medical and surgical colleagues.
- Outstanding clinical research opportunities.
While the curriculum does not lead to board certification in nuclear
medicine, it does allow you to develop expertise in PET, PET/CT,
and other cross-sectional imaging techniques, which are invaluable
in any subsequent academic or private-practice diagnostic radiology
practice.
Program History
The PET/CT Imaging Fellowship in Scottsdale is a new fellowship
