Orthopaedic MRI Fellowship

Hospital for Special Surgery's Department of Radiology and Imaging, Division of Magnetic Resonance Imaging offers one-year clinical fellowships dedicated to Orthopaedic MR imaging.

The Department includes a Center for Musculoskeletal MRI. Approximately 21,000 Musculoskeletal MRI examinations of the axial and appendicular skeleton, including peripheral MR angiography are currently performed on seven high field strength units including 1.5T, 0.7T open and 3T units. All systems have state of the art gradient performance. MR angiography is used in the screening of orthopaedic trauma, detection of thrombi in post arthroplasty patients, as well as extensive arterial assessment for free tissue transfer. HSS serves as a General Electric test site with continual testing of prototype pulse sequences and surface coils that are not commercially available.

Subspecialty referring services include Sports Medicine, Arthroplasty, Orthopaedic, spine, trauma, rheumatology, neurology and hand/microvascular, among others. Correlative routine musculoskeletal radiographs, nuclear medicine, CT and US examinations are available although the emphasis is musculoskeletal MR imaging.

Fellows have opportunities to attend, participate and conduct Radiology, Orthopaedic, Rheumatology, Physiatry resident and fellow conferences at HSS, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The Robert H. Freiberger, MD Academic Center and Library contains a teaching file with examples of common, complex and esoteric musculoskeletal conditions and disorders on x-ray, CT, US, MR and Nuclear Medicine. There are ample opportunities for research and research projects(s) are an expected part of the fellowship. Salary and fringe benefits are highly competitive.
