Emergency and Trauma Imaging Fellowship

The Emergency and Trauma Imaging (ETI) section provides most diagnostic imaging services to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center (STC), which is the adult level I trauma center for all of Maryland. Because the section’s coverage of STC includes patients who are admitted to the hospital and followed as outpatients, the trainee’s experience is not limited to the patient’s acute presentation.

Trainees will have experience with trauma patients through the full course of injury recovery, as well as a number of complications, including fat embolism syndrome, bowel obstruction and pulmonary embolism.

Though a highlight of the program, trauma is not the sole focus of the fellowship. The section also covers the University of Maryland Medical Center Adult ED and the Critical Care Receiving Unit (CCRU), an eight bed facility that serves as an ingress point to the medical center for patients transferred to UMMC with a spectrum of severe, non-traumatic conditions, including brain attack, cerebral aneurysm, aortic dissection, mesenteric ischemia, acute limb ischemia, soft tissue infection and ARDS, as well as remote coverage of several surrounding hospitals including the level II trauma center and Adult and Pediatric ED at Prince George’s County Hospital.
