Additional Information: Great body MRI fellowship, fantastic for job preparation with a very large volume of body MRI exams. Fellows rotate through MRI, ultrasound and CT during the course of the year with the main focus of the fellowship on body MR imaging. Chicago is a very fun city to be in for fellowship.  Fellows often say it’s their best year of training.
