Types of Radiology Courses

1. Fellowship in Radiology: A Radiology Fellowship offers a deep dive into the world of diagnostic imaging and interventional procedures. Fellows gain mastery in interpreting medical images produced by MRI, CT, ultrasound, and X-rays. They also learn to perform image-guided interventions with precision.

The program covers a wide range of subspecialties like neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, and interventional radiology, equipping fellows with the expertise to excel in specialized roles. Through hands-on clinical experience and procedural training, fellows emerge well-prepared to take on advanced positions in radiology.

2. Fellowship in Neuroradiology: A Neuroradiology Fellowship provides specialized training in the imaging and diagnosing conditions affecting the brain, spine, head, and neck. Fellows utilize state-of-the-art technologies like MRI, CT, and angiography to identify and diagnose neurological disorders, including strokes, tumors, vascular malformations, and degenerative diseases.

Through hands-on experience, fellows become experts in interpreting intricate neuroradiological images and performing minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging.

3. Fellowship in Interventional Radiology: An Interventional Radiology Fellowship offers specialized training in performing minimally invasive procedures guided by imaging technologies like X-ray, MRI, and ultrasound. Fellows learn to diagnose and treat a variety of conditions, including vascular diseases, cancer, and organ dysfunctions.

They gain hands-on experience in techniques like angioplasty, stenting, embolization, and image-guided biopsies, preparing them for a career at the forefront of this innovative medical field.

Duration of Radiology Courses

Fellowship Courses last for 12 months and are designed to offer in-depth practical experience, allowing students to specialize further in a specific area of radiology.
