Neuroradiology Fellowship

Sobre el programa

The Neuroradiology Fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center offers comprehensive training in adult neuroradiology as well as exposure to pediatric neuroradiology. Fellows gain hands-on experience with advanced imaging techniques and participate in multidisciplinary care across a variety of clinical settings.

Training includes exposure to specialized modalities such as perfusion imaging and spectroscopy with focused pediatric experience at Children’s Medical Center. Fellows also receive instruction in diagnostic and basic interventional procedures, including experience with cerebral angiography. The program emphasizes clinical integration, technical proficiency, and progressive autonomy, supported by regular mentorship and case reviews to ensure readiness for independent practice.

Rotaciones

General Neuroradiology
Fellows will complete five months of dedicated training in diagnostic neuroradiology including CT and MRI. Training is supervised with graded autonomy and monitored through regular case log reviews with the Program Director to ensure competency and adequate exposure.

Pediatric Neuroradiology
Fellows will complete a month rotation of pediatric neuroradiology training at Children’s Medical Center Dallas. During this rotation, they will interpret complex brain and spinal cord conditions in children, including congenital malformations, tumors, fMRI, and neurovascular diseases, gaining hands-on experience with both common and rare cases. Fellows will participate in daily readouts with pediatric neuroradiologists and attend didactic lectures.

Espina
Fellows complete two months in spine radiology, focusing on both diagnostic imaging and image-guided procedures. Training includes interpretation of spinal CT and MRI for conditions such as degenerative disease, trauma, and tumors, along with procedures including lumbar punctures and myelograms.

Vascular
Fellows will complete a month of rotation in neurointerventional radiology, focusing on diagnosing and managing cerebrovascular conditions such as stroke, aneurysms, and AVMs. They will interpret vascular imaging and gain hands-on experience with the broad spectrum of neurointerventional and spine procedures.

Head and Neck Radiology
Fellows will complete two months in head and neck radiology, interpreting CT, MRI, and 4D CT scans for cancer, endocrine disorders, and trauma. They will gain experience in staging, post-treatment monitoring, interventional procedures, and neuro-otology imaging, including temporal bone CTs.

Electivo
Fellows will complete a one-month elective rotation, selecting from the following options: Neuropathology, which offers exposure to the microscopic evaluation of neurological diseases; Neurointerventional, focusing on advanced endovascular procedures; Research, allowing fellows to pursue academic or clinical projects; Neurology, providing clinical insight into neurological disorders; and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, emphasizing functional recovery and neurorehabilitation strategies.

Conferences

Fellows actively participate in daily case readouts by attending neuroradiologists, regular interdisciplinary conferences (brain oncology, head/neck oncology, skull base, and vascular), and regular didactic lectures and journal clubs. They also have opportunities to engage in quality improvement, teaching, or research projects throughout the fellowship.

Investigación

Research is a vital component of the fellowship experience. Fellows have extensive opportunities to engage in clinical trials, independent research projects, and collaborative studies, providing exposure to cutting-edge imaging techniques and interventional innovations.

Each fellow will complete at least one project as principal investigator or submit at least one scientific paper or exhibit for presentation at a regional or national meeting. All submissions undergo peer review.
