Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Fellowship

临床培训的重点是建立心血管MRI和心血管CT的临床能力。在为期两年的标准奖学金期间，研究员参与500多项心血管MRI和400多项心血管CT临床检查的初步获取和解释，以满足工作组12 COCATS2指南中概述的心血管CT和MR高级培训的3级能力。我们的计划每年进行1200多次心血管MRI检查和大约600次心血管CT增强检查。 1999至2011年间，约有32名临床医生通过高级心血管成像奖学金计划进行轮换。最初，临床培训只涉及心血管核磁共振。自2009年以来，该奖学金已扩大到包括心血管CT。大多数受训人员都是心脏病专家，但也有两名是放射科医生。虽然大多数临床研究员完全由NHLBI资助，但10名临床研究员的培训有很大一部分得到了其他项目的支持，包括约翰·霍普金斯大学和儿童国家医学中心。 在完成该项目的32名研究员中，75%的人仍在主要位于美国的大学担任学术职位。在8名私人执业的研究员中，至少有3人在执业中使用了心血管核磁共振。

The clinical training focuses on establishing clinical competence in cardiovascular MRI and cardiovascular CT. Fellows participate in the primary acquisition and interpretation of over 500 cardiovascular MRI and over 400 cardiovascular CT clinical examinations during a standard 2 year fellowship which fulfills Level 3 competence for Advanced Training in both cardiovascular CT and MR as outlined in Task Force 12 COCATS2 Guidelines. Our program performs over 1200 cardiovascular MRI and approximately 600 contrast enhanced cardiovascular CT exams per year. Between 1999 and 2011, approximately 32 clinicians have rotated through the Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Fellowship program. Initially, clinical training only involved cardiovascular MRI. Since 2009, the fellowship has expanded to include cardiovascular CT. The majority of trainees have been cardiologists but two were radiologists. While the majority of clinical fellows were completely funded by NHLBI, 10 had a significant portion of their training supported by other programs including Johns Hopkins University and Childrens National Medical Center. Of the 32 fellows that have completed the program, 75% remain in academic positions at Universities mostly in the US. Of the 8 fellows that went into private practice, at least three use cardiovascular MRI in their practice.
