Advanced Cardiovascular Imaging Fellowship
Thank you for your interest in the U-M Medical School Department of Internal Medicine Division of Cardiovascular Medicine Advanced Imaging Fellowship program. Our goal is to provide level III training in nuclear cardiology and echocardiography. At the Frankel Cardiovascular Center, we have diverse and internationally recognized faculty practicing in a state-of-the-art facility on the campus of a world-renowned university.
Our Advanced Imaging Fellowship program engages trainees in the following modalities:
- Cardiac PET perfusion including quantitative myocardial blood flow
- FDG-PET for viability and inflammation imaging
- Cardiac SPECT
- PYP
- MUGA
- Echocardiography

Clinical Training
At the University of Michigan Medical School, there is an exceptional opportunity to be a part of a high volume, cutting-edge cardiovascular imaging program in the one-year advanced cardiovascular imaging fellowship program. Training is comprised of 50% nuclear cardiology, 40% echocardiography, and the opportunity for exposure to cardiac MRI and cardiac CT in the remaining 10%.
- High-volume in cardiac PET including perfusion with quantitative myocardial blood flow for evaluation of ischemia, microvascular disease, and coronary allograft vasculopathy
- FDG-PET for viability, infection, and inflammation imaging for evaluation of cardiac sarcoidosis and prosthetic endocarditis
- Pioneering laboratory in cardiac SPECT-CT for ischemia, PYP for amyloidosis, and MUGA
- Transesophageal echocardiography including pre-procedural TEE prior to valvular heart disease interventions and transthoracic echocardiography interpretation including 3D echo and strain
The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in multidisciplinary conferences including stress testing/invasive coronary angiography correlation conference, sarcoidosis clinical-imaging conference, endocarditis team conference, multimodality imaging lecture series, and echocardiography lecture series. There will also be opportunities to participate with a leading clinical imaging research group with multiple NIH grants and funding from several industry partners as well as a large volume of cardiac imaging publications in top journals every year.
