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2年的标准研究期间，研究员参与了500多张心血管MRI和400多张心血管CT临床检查的主要采集和解释，达到了COCATS2指南中概述的心血管CT和MR高级培训的3级能力。我们的项目每年进行超过1200次心血管MRI检查和大约600次增强心血管CT检查。

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 68 fellows that have come through the Advanced Cardiac Imaging Program between 1999 and 2020, about 8 past fellows can be considered leaders in the field. Of the 8 fellows that went into private practice, at least three use cardiovascular MRI in their practice.
