Breast Imaging: Research Opportunities
Research Opportunities with designated nonclinical time are provided for the breast imaging fellows. The Department of Radiology’s strong research programs in ultrasound, MRI, computer-aided diagnosis, and physics offer a multimodality approach to the study and diagnosis of breast disease. Non-clinical time is given to fellows pursuing active research investigations. Historically, fellow research has been published in leading journals such as Radiology or American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR).
