Thoracic Radiology Fellowship

I would like to extend a warm welcome to you on behalf of the Thoracic Imaging Fellowship Program at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. At MD Anderson, we take great pride in our commitment to providing comprehensive training that equips fellows with the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to become leaders in the field of thoracic imaging.  

As program director, it is my privilege to introduce you to our fellowship program, which is designed to educate fellows in the advanced interpretation of thoracic imaging with emphasis on computed tomography. Fellows also have the opportunity to gain experience in the interpretation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including cardiac MRI. Fellows will gain enhanced knowledge of the biology, epidemiology, diagnosis, staging, pathology, treatment and complications of malignant tumors, including lung cancer, esophageal cancer, thymic malignancies and mesothelioma. In addition, there is ample opportunity to see myriad of infections and inflammatory conditions, as well as therapeutic complications such as drug toxicity, radiation injury and post-operative findings.  

Fellows in thoracic imaging have the unique opportunity to work alongside a group of 14 full-time thoracic-trained radiologists at MD Anderson Cancer Center, the nation’s No. 1 cancer center, according to U.S. News and World Report, and world-renowned for outstanding achievements in patient care, research, and education. Education and research are an integral part of MD Anderson, and numerous clinical and academic research opportunities exist. Fellows are provided one academic day/week to pursue their academic interests. Past fellows have published review articles in well-respected radiology journals.  

Thank you for considering the Thoracic Fellowship Program at MD Anderson. We look forward to answering any questions you may have.
