Oncologic Abdominal & Body Imaging Fellowship

Advanced training in complex cancer imaging

Roswell Park is one of the few free-standing NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in New York State, providing comprehensive cancer care to the Western New York region.

As imaging guides and impacts virtually every patient on their cancer journey, fellows will become an integral member of the multidisciplinary team that sees patients through all steps of cancer screening, workup and diagnosis, treatment, restaging, and surveillance. By the end of the one year experience, you will posses understanding and familiarity with cancer treatment (including targeted therapies and procedures) and expertise in recognizing disease-specific spread patterns, site-specific disease recurrences, post-surgical outcomes, related infectious processes, and chemoimmunotherapy-related drug toxicities.

Our collaborative, translational medicine model connects fellows with clinicians, researchers, and specialists who understand every aspect of cancer science. We invite you to join us at the forefront of cancer care.

Wide ranging pathology, advanced imaging technologies

During fellowship you will gain exposure to and experience in all aspects of diagnostic imaging as it relates to cancer and cancer-related diseases across all organ systems. The fellowship will primarily focus on advanced experiences in the interpretation of cross-sectional imaging. These experiences will include robust exposure to:

• CT and MRI of the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities, including routine outpatient, complex inpatient, emergent, and postoperative disease states
• Advanced MRI (rectal, prostate, female pelvis/GYN, cardiac, MSK/sarcoma)
• Oncologic PET/CT (including Ga-68 and PSMA), growing theranostics section
• Ultrasound, fluoroscopy, and plain film radiography integrated throughout the experience
• A variety of elective rotations will be available, both within and outside of the diagnostic imaging department at Roswell Park, including interventional radiology - though IR and mammography rotations are not required during fellowship.

Weekly multidisciplinary conference

Fellows will rotate participation in weekly multidisciplinary conferences, in collaboration with medical oncology, surgery, radiation oncology, and pathology. These weekly conferences include soft tissue/MSK, upper gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary, thoracic, gastroesophageal, urology, lower gastrointestinal/rectal, pediatrics (in concert with adjacent pediatric hospital), gynecologic and melanoma.
