The division of Thoracic Imaging at BIDMC and Harvard Medical School has been at the forefront of recent advances in thoracic imaging from both clinical and research perspectives and provides a strong academic environment for fellowship training. Our fellows are involved in all aspects of clinical thoracic imaging under the supervision of the program director and the thoracic imaging faculty. Additionally, our fellows receive mentoring, academic time, and support for teaching and research activities. Our fellows are exposed to the full spectrum of cardiothoracic disorders and a variety of diagnostic imaging methods, including CT angiography, high-resolution chest CT, functional imaging, and state-of-the-art 3-d reconstruction techniques and post-processing methods. Dedicated time (3 months) is also provided for fellows to spend in the Cardiovascular Imaging Section, providing training and clinical experience in state-of-the art imaging of the heart and vascular system using CT and MRI.
Departmental resources include: 7 CT scanners (including 64-slice and 320-slice multidetector CT scanners and a CT-fluoroscopy unit), 3 DR units, 8 MR scanners (including 1.5-T and 3.0-T clinical and research units), an integrated PET-CT scanner, a fully implemented PACS system, two 3-D imaging labs, and a state-of-the-art, ergonomically-designed chest reading room.
