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。 研究员在标准的2年奖学金期间参与了500多项心血管MRI和400多项心血管CT临床检查的主要采集和解释，符合第12工作组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和大约600次对比增强心血管CT检查。 在1999年至2011年期间，大约有32名临床医生通过高级心血管成像奖学金计划进行了轮换。 最初，临床培训仅涉及心血管MRI。 自2009年以来，该奖学金已扩大到包括心血管CT。 大多数受训人员是心脏病专家，但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，但有10人的培训很大一部分由其他项目支持，包括约翰霍普金斯大学和儿童国家医学中心。 在1999年至2020年期间通过高级心脏成像计划的68名研究员中，约有8名过去的研究员可以被认为是该领域的领导者。在进入私人诊所的8名研究员中，至少有3人在他们的实践中使用心血管MRI。

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.
