Inside the major
Programs within this field
Colleges may offer this field under 13 more specific program names. The program you choose affects the courses you take.
- Diagnostic Radiology Residency Program
- Prepares physicians to utilize x-ray, ionizing radiation, radionuclides, ultrasound, electromagnetic radiation, and image-guided intervention to diagnose and treat disease. One of two general certificates in the area of radiology.
- Integrated Interventional Radiology Residency Program
- Prepares physicians in image-guided therapies, using fluoroscopy, digital radiography, computed tomography, sonography, and magnetic resonance imaging, to guide small devices inserted into the body through very small openings. These therapies include angioplasty, stent placement, thrombolysis, embolization, biliary and genitourinary drainages, and abscess drainages. Does NOT require prior completion of a residency program in diagnostic radiology.
- Abdominal Radiology Fellowship Program
- Prepares diagnostic radiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the abdomen and pelvis in adults and children. Requires prior completion of a residency program in diagnostic or interventional radiology.
- Diagnostic Radiologic Physics Residency Program
- Prepares physicians in the diagnostic applications of x-rays, gamma rays from sealed sources, ultrasonic radiation, and magnetic resonance; and in the use of equipment associated with their production and use, including radiation safety. One of the three subspecialties available to residents in radiologic physics who must select one or more subspecialty areas.
- Medical Nuclear Physics Residency Program
- Prepares physicians in the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of radionuclides (except those used in sealed sources for therapeutic purposes); and in the use of equipment associated with their production and use, including radiation safety. One of the three subspecialties available to residents in radiologic physics who must select one or more subspecialty areas.
- Musculoskeletal Radiology Fellowship Program
- Prepares diagnostic radiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders or injuries of the joints, bones, muscles, and spine in adults and children. Requires prior completion of a residency program in diagnostic or interventional radiology.
- Neuroradiology Fellowship Program
- Prepares diagnostic radiologists in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the brain, spine, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and head and neck in adults and children. Requires prior completion of a residency program in diagnostic radiology.
- Nuclear Radiology Fellowship Program
- Prepares physicians in the imaging by external detection of radionuclides and/or biodistribution by external detection of radionuclides for diagnosis of disease. Requires prior partial completion of a residency program in diagnostic radiology.
- Pediatric Radiology Fellowship Program
- Prepares physicians in all forms of diagnostic imaging as it pertains to the diagnosis and treatment of diseases in the newborn, infant, child, and adolescent. Requires prior completion of a residency program in diagnostic radiology.
- Radiologic Physics Residency Program
- Prepares physicians in that branch of physics which includes the physical aspects of radiation therapy, radiologic diagnosis, and/or nuclear medicine. Radiologic physicists must specialize in at least one of the three subspecialty areas: therapeutic radiological physics, diagnostic radiological physics, and/or medical nuclear physics.
