Applications are invited for a one-year Fellowship in Body Imaging, offering an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience with complex general and oncology cases. The fellowship is based in a well-equipped Radiology Department and its satellite center, featuring advanced imaging technology including two 1.5T MRI systems and an open MRI. Among these is the Philips Ingenia 1.5 Tesla scanner, capable of whole-body MRI, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), single and multivoxel MR spectroscopy for both intracranial and extracranial applications, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), tractography, as well as MRI-guided interventions and biopsies. The department also houses two 64-slice multi-detector CT scanners capable of high-end CT-guided peripheral and visceral angiographies, coronary angiograms, and advanced 3D imaging techniques. Additionally, high-end ultrasound suites with guided intervention capabilities support comprehensive diagnostic and interventional radiology services. The department operates a filmless system supported by a Hospital Information System and Radiology Information System (RIS) integrated with PACS. Fellows will benefit from an excellent research environment designed to foster academic growth.

Key Responsibilities:
- Provide clinical services primarily in CT, MRI, and image-guided biopsies.
- Assist in specialized ultrasound procedures involving guided interventions as well as general radiology duties.
- Actively participate in multidisciplinary team (MDT) meetings, covering a broad spectrum of adult and pediatric oncological cases, including diverse gastrointestinal (GI) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) MDTs.
- Demonstrate a strong commitment to clinical excellence and contribute to ongoing research activities.
- Complete at least one peer-reviewed publication during the fellowship year.

Required Qualifications:
- MBBS degree.
- FCPS or an equivalent postgraduate qualification in Radiology (mandatory).

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits:
- Previous research experience is desirable, reflecting the program’s emphasis on academic contribution.
- Access to state-of-the-art imaging technology and a supportive environment for clinical and research development.
- Opportunity to work within a multidisciplinary team managing a wide variety of complex oncological and general radiology cases.
- Exposure to advanced imaging techniques and interventional procedures, enhancing both diagnostic and procedural skills.

This fellowship is ideal for radiologists seeking to deepen their expertise in body imaging, particularly in oncology, while engaging in meaningful research and clinical practice within a technologically advanced and academically supportive setting.
