Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Fellowship

Exceptional opportunity to be a part of a high volume, cutting edge cardiovascular imaging program in the one-year advanced cardiovascular imaging fellowship program at University of Michigan. Training is comprised of 50% nuclear cardiology, 40% echocardiography, and the opportunity for exposure to cardiac MRI and cardiac CT in the remaining 10%.

Nuclear cardiology training includes:

• High-volume in cardiac PET including perfusion with quantitative myocardial blood flow for evaluation of ischemia, microvascular disease, and coronary allograft vasculopathy.
• FDG-PET for infection and inflammation imaging for evaluation of cardiac sarcoidosis and prosthetic endocarditis, and viability.
• Pioneering laboratory in cardiac SPECT-CT for ischemia, PYP for amyloidosis, and MUGA.

Echocardiography training includes:

• Transesophageal echocardiography including pre-procedural TEE before valvular heart disease interventions and transthoracic echocardiography interpretation including 3D echo and strain.

The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in multidisciplinary conferences, including the stress testing/invasive coronary angiography correlation conference, the sarcoidosis clinical-imaging conference, the endocarditis team conference, the multimodality imaging lecture series, and the echocardiography lecture series.

There will also be opportunities to participate with a leading clinical imaging research group that has received multiple NIH grants and funding from several industry partners and publishes a large volume of cardiac imaging papers in top journals every year.
