The Fellow will have a rotation in the following areas:
- USG
- CT
- MRI
- PETCT
-
Introduction
This is an intensive one year course which involves oncological and non-oncological radiology participation in ultrasound, CT and fluoroscopy guided procedures as well as performing and interpreting oncological CT, MRI, ultrasound and PET CT studies. There is a 40% component of non-oncological imaging work which must also be done during this fellowship to keep in touch with routine diagnostic activities.

-
Syllabus
A sound understanding of the basis of oncological imaging including:
- The embryology, anatomy and pathophysiology of the major tumour-bearing organs.
- The various tumour staging methods used for each major organ
- Lymph node station and routes of lymph node spread from primary tumours.
- Anatomical routes for the spread of common tumours.
- The pathological processes of malignant disease.
- Local, national and where appropriate, international imaging guidelines.
- Methods of analyzing tumour response.
General oncological radiology
- Expertise in plain radiographic assessment for staging and follow-up of tumours.

- Expertise in recommending the most appropriate investigation.
CT
- Detailed knowledge of tumour types appropriate for CT staging and follow-up
- Detailed knowledge of the appropriate techniques for the examination and the assessment of different common cancers.
- Knowledge of patterns of disease spread for common tumour types on CT which will lead to greater diagnostic accuracy and more appropriately tailored examinations.
- Knowledge of the advantages of new developments in CT such as multi-helical techniques in cancer management, eg. Three-dimensional imaging, multi-planar reformatting.
- Expertise in biopsy techniques with a particular relevance to cancer, such as retroperitoneal biopsy and pelvic side wall biopsy

- MR USG fusion technology for Brain Tumours and other malignancy.
- Knowledge of the advances in MRI, which are relevant to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.
USG
- Knowledge of the indications for US examinations in cancer patients and the relationship of US to CT / MRI / Nuclear Medicine for lesion detection, eg. Liver metastases.
- Knowledge of advances in US imaging and techniques that have an application to cancer.
Nuclear Medicine
- Understanding of the complementary role of plain radiography, MRI and CT to nuclear medicine in the evaluation of an equivocal diagnosis of metastases.
- Detailed knowledge of indications for functional imaging techniques and expertise in image interpretation, eg. Thyroid cancer imaging.
- Knowledge of advances in nuclear medicine, including positron emission tomography (PET/CT PET). A basic knowledge of the technique is required. Knowledge of the current and evolving indications for referral for PET / SPECT.
-
Basic Competencies
Core knowledge
- Knowledge of oncological pathology and clinical practice relevant to clinical radiology.
- Familiarity with tumour staging nomenclature.
- Familiarity with the application of US, radionuclide investigations, CT and MRI, angiography and interventional techniques in oncological staging, and monitoring the response of tumours to therapy.
- Familiarity with the radiological manifestations of complications which may occur in tumour management.
Core Skills
- Reporting plain radiographs performed to assess tumours
- Performing and reporting US, CT, MRI and radionuclide investigations in oncological staging and monitoring the response of tumours to therapy.
- Performing image-guided biopsy of masses under US and CT guidance.
- Tumour Ablation Therapy.
