Chandana Lall, MD 
Cross-Sectional, Abdominal Imaging Fellowship Director 
clall@uci.edu

A one-year, cross-sectional, abdominal imaging fellowship is offered in the Department of Radiology at the UC Irvine Medical Center, providing an emphasis on cross-sectional abdominal imaging with coordinated experience in CT, Ultrasound, MRI and image-guided procedures (two positions).

We are the only Level 1 trauma center in Orange County (with a population of more than 3 million) and provide imaging services for the National Cancer Institute-sponsored Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center on the medical center campus.

Considerable expansion of the radiology department facilities, both in terms of floor space and new equipment, has recently been done with the opening of the new radiology facilities in the state-of-the-art UC Irvine Dougals Hospital. This includes cutting-edge equipment such as a new Philips 256 channel CT scanner, new 3T Philips MRI suite with advanced imaging and software and 16 channel SPECT/CT scanner. In addition, new equipment being installed includes a 128 channel CT in the University Tower and a new 16 channel CT in the ER, as well as IU22 Philips ultrasound scanners.

We currently have a 64-channel CT scanner for the ER and inpatients, a 64-channel PET-CT scanner, a 16-channel CT scanner for outpatients, and a single channel CT scanner with fluoroscopic capability for interventional procedures.

We have a 3-Tesla Siemens Trio MRI scanner and a 1.5-Tesla Siemens Avanto MRI scanner. Higher field strength magnets are available in our research division on campus.

The fellow will participate in CT and ultrasound guided interventional procedures. The fellowship will also provide vast experience in Doppler vascular ultrasound including transplant imaging.

Participation in the department's ongoing research projects and publication is encouraged. Fellows are expected to submit at least one presentation in both the RSNA and ARRS meetings. Successful applicants will be clinical instructors in the School of Medicine, and will actively participate in the teaching of UC Irvine residents and medical students, as well as participate in several interdisciplinary conferences. There will be seven faculty members supervising the fellowship.

This MSK fellowship is separate from the MSK fellowship at UC Irvine Medical Center. However, the VA Long Beach Medical Center radiology training, including the MSK fellowship, is affiliated with UC Irvine. The graduating fellow from our program will get their certificate of fellowship training from the Department of Radiology. Each month, eight UC Irvine radiology residents rotate at our VA Long Beach Medical Center. The medical center is highly enriched with imaging of pathological conditions in orthopedics, sport medicine, rheumatology and other medical conditions. The opportunity also exists for the MSK fellow to learn neuro and body MRI from experts in these subspecialties as well.

Successful applicants will be clinical instructors at the UC Irvine School of Medicine. The fellows will participate in the teaching of UC Irvine residents and medical students, actively participate in interdisciplinary conferences, and take an active part in the ongoing research projects and publications of the section.
