Details
Northwestern Radiology’s Imaging Informatics Section is now accepting applications for its Imaging Informatics Fellowship. This is a one-year, PGY-6, program. The program will consist of 60 percent informatics training and 40 percent participation in our existing Body Imaging Fellowship. The Informatics training will include hands-on Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) experience, laboratory project participation, industry collaboration, and undergraduate and graduate teaching opportunities.
The department provides radiology services at Northwestern Memorial Hospital – a brand new, two-million square foot state-of-the-art facility in Chicago, Illinois. The department performs approximately 300,000 procedures per year and 95 percent of those are acquired, stored, transmitted, displayed and interpreted in a large General Electric (GE) Medical Systems PACS. There are 61 modality devices, including six magnetic resonance (MR) (plus two research units), six multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) , three full-field digital mammography (FFDM), and 15 computed radiography (CR), all interfaced to the PACS. We are a national show site for PACS.
In addition, the Imaging Informatics Section operates a 4000 square foot research laboratory, which is fully equipped with UNIX, Windows 2000, and Windows NT server systems, and a laboratory PACS environment. There are six full-time technical staff and numerous students, including two Masters level students.
Northwestern University is an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action employer; members of historically underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
Application Requirements
The program will be participating in the fellowship match for positions that start in July, 2009.
