Fellows participate in image-guided biopsy and tumor board, in support of UMMC's dedicated orthopaedic oncology service. MSK fellows also receive training in image-guided diagnostic/therapeutic joint procedures and diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound. Primary diagnostic imaging modalities include state-of-the-art MRI (3.0 T and 1.5 T), CT (includes spectral), x-ray and fluoroscopy, with additional exposure to PET/MRI, PET/CT and bone densitometry (DXA).
MSK Fellows are bestowed the academic rank of Visiting Instructor by the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Optional research and teaching opportunities are available. Graduates of our MSK radiology fellowship program are well prepared for careers in private practice, academic radiology or federal service (VA medical centers, etc.).
