Abdominal Imaging Fellowship Program

Mission Statement:

The Abdominal Imaging Fellowship at UF Radiology is committed to delivering exceptional subspecialty training in abdominal imaging. The program provides comprehensive education in cross-sectional imaging of the abdominal and pelvic anatomy. Fellows will gain expertise across the full spectrum of diagnostic imaging and image-guided procedures using ultrasound, CT, and MRI.

We are dedicated to fostering compassionate, thorough, and patient-centered care while ensuring timely, collaborative consultation with referring clinicians. This one-year fellowship equips trainees with the skills and knowledge necessary to practice safely and independently in diverse clinical settings.

Program Aims

To produce competent, independent abdominal radiologists capable of delivering high-quality diagnostic imaging and procedural care in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
To ensure proficiency in interpreting a wide range of abdominal and pelvic imaging studies, including but not limited to oncologic imaging, hepatobiliary imaging, gastrointestinal imaging, genitourinary imaging, and emergency abdominal imaging.
To train fellows in performing image-guided procedures such as biopsies, drainages, and aspirations under ultrasound, CT, and fluoroscopic guidance, with a focus on safety and efficacy.
To provide exposure to advanced imaging techniques such as multiparametric MRI and spectral CT as well as applications in oncology, transplant, and inflammatory bowel disease.
To foster scholarly activity and research in abdominal imaging, including quality improvement (QI) and patient safety initiatives. Fellows are expected to complete at least one scholarly or QI project and contribute to resident and medical student education through lectures and case-based teaching.
To prepare graduates for certification and lifelong practice in abdominal imaging by providing a strong foundation of knowledge, procedural experience, and professional development aligned with the standards of the profession, evolving clinical practices, and the highest quality of patient care.
