Our faculty are dedicated to excellence in clinical neuroradiology and research and provide education for Emory medical students, residents, and fellows. The pediatric neuroradiology fellowship provides extensive experience in all neuroimaging modalities, including CT, MRI, PET, SPECT, and advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as perfusion, DTI, MR spectroscopy, and fMRI. Dedicated staff assist with 3D post-processing of advanced neuroimaging examinations. Our neuroradiologists lead multiple interdisciplinary conferences for the fellows to participate in. The fellowship can be tailored to provide candidates greater exposure in any areas of subspecialized interest they may have.
