Breast Imaging Fellowship Program

The Breast Imaging Fellowship at Ochsner is a one-year program that provides comprehensive experience in interpretation of screening and diagnostic full-field digital and digital breast tomosynthesis mammography, contrast enhanced mammography, hand held and automated breast ultrasound, and breast MRI, as well as performance of image-guided percutaneous interventional breast procedures and pre-surgical localization (wire and wire-free) using all modalities. The fellow is an integral member of the breast imaging team participating in clinical workflow, education of residents and medical students, process improvement initiatives, and interdepartmental conferences. Numerous research opportunities are available involving various imaging techniques including contrast mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, and cryoablation, and initiatives aimed at mitigating healthcare disparities and improving access for underserved patient populations. Past fellows have moved on to successful careers in both academics and private practice.
