About the
Program

Certificate: Fellowship in Advanced Ultrasonography and Fetal Medicine

Awarded by: DY Patil University (accredited by NAAC with ‘A’ GRADE)

Program Highlights:-

1. A 1 year comprehensive and well-balanced training program encompassing all of the basic and advanced clinical areas of women’s imaging.

2. Training in breast, gynecologic and obstetrical imaging.

3. Modular Fellowship course format

4. Obstetrical imaging training includes performing and interpreting high risk OB ultrasound in our perinatal center, run in conjunction with the obstetrics department,and exposure to fetal MR.

5. The fellow will be involved with all aspects of breast imaging and procedures including including mammography, ultrasound, breast MRI, ductography, breast biopsy,and wire localizations.

6. Gynecologic training includes MR interpretation, hands on endovaginal scanning and learning how to catheterize the uterus for fluoroscopic and sonographic evaluation of the endometrium and fallopian tubes.

7. The fellow receives “hands-on” experience at the workstation as well as through active procedure services with image-guided aspirations and biopsies.

8. Fellows fully participate in all aspects of clinical services, with frequent contact with our referring physicians; will work side by side with nationally acclaimed academic radiologists, and will interact with renowned clinicians

9. Fellows will be given an opportunity to conduct at least one original research study during the course duration.
