QEII Abdominal Imaging

Patient–Centered Imaging

Our Education

The Abdominal Imaging Section provides didactic and hands on training to Diagnostic Radiology residents.  Members of the section also provide didactic teaching and tutoring to medical students and residents specializing in other areas of medicine and surgery.

The Abdominal Imaging section offers a yearly fellowship.  The fellows are primarily supervised and trained by members of the Abdominal Imaging section. One of the goals of the fellowship is to increase fellows’ exposure to advanced imaging in CT and MRI.

The Abdominal Imaging section is involved in several Multidisciplinary Rounds and contributes to the education of a large number of medical personnel.

Members of the Abdominal Imaging section have been recognized for their contributions to education and have received Teacher of the Year and Distinguished Faculty List awards on several occasions over the past decade.
