The University of Arizona College of Medicine – Tucson Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Fellowship offers one to two positions each year and is designed for physicians pursuing careers with an emphasis on advanced cardiovascular imaging.
This one- or two-year non-ACGME fellowship provides focused clinical training in cardiovascular computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Training can be tailored to individual career goals, with the aim of achieving COCATS Level III training in cardiac CT and COCATS Level II training in cardiac MRI. Fellows pursuing extended training may also achieve Level III training in cardiac MRI depending on time spent in the program.
The cardiovascular imaging laboratory performs more than 2,000 cardiac CT scans and 1,000 cardiac MRI studies annually. Fellows gain extensive experience across a wide spectrum of imaging applications.
Cardiac CT training includes: coronary calcium scoring, coronary artery disease evaluation including native vessels, stents, and CABG grafts, anomalous coronaries, vasculitis, structural imaging for TAVR and TMVR planning, left atrial appendage occlusion, electrophysiology procedure planning, paravalvular leak assessment, vascular imaging, and adult congenital heart disease evaluation.
Cardiac MRI training includes: viability assessment, cardiomyopathy evaluation, shunt and congenital heart disease imaging, pulmonary hypertension, valvular disease, cardiac masses, vascular disease, and stress perfusion imaging.
The fellowship is based at Banner – University Medical Center Tucson and includes a part-time appointment with Banner University Medical Group.
