Nuclear Radiology Fellowship

Nuclear radiology is the clinical subspecialty of radiology involving the diagnostic and therapeutic use of radioactive materials using unsealed sources. Radiologists select, interpret, and perform procedures, including diagnostic imaging by external detection of radionuclides, diagnostic in vivo or combination in vivo/in vitro procedures that involve the administration and detection of radioactivity by non-imaging means, and therapeutic administration of radionuclides.

The educational program in nuclear radiology must be at least 12 months in
length.

Our one-year Nuclear Radiology Fellowship at the University of Utah, Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences provides additional training to diagnostic radiologists in nuclear imaging and theranostics.

The department has 2 state of the art clinical PET/CT scanners and one research scanner. During the fellowship trainees will gain vast experience in general nuclear imaging and in the various applications of PET/CT and SPECT/CT imaging, including the areas of oncology (with the newest tracers), infection imaging, and in evaluation of neurodegenerative disorders. Fellows will also have the opportunity to work with the latest theranostic agents and will have the opportunity to participate in standard therapies for benign and neoplastic thyroid diseases.
