The University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria currently has an unexpected opening for a 2021-2022 breast imaging fellow at the OSF Saint Francis Center for Breast Health, formerly known as the Susan G.

This one-year position will provide an outstanding opportunity to gain experience in all aspects of Breast Imaging and Intervention, including breast ultrasound, breast MRI and interventional procedures, stereotactic core biopsy, ultrasound-guided core biopsy, cyst aspiration, fine needle aspiration, ductography, and localizations for surgical resection.
Approximately 22,000 screening cases are evaluated and 9,000 diagnostic studies are performed each year at the OSF Saint Francis Center for Breast Health. Approximately 2,500 interventional procedures as well as 6,000 breast ultrasound examinations are performed each year by radiologists. In addition, over 450 breast MRI exams and approximately 150 MR-guided core biopsies are performed annually. Research opportunities are also available to those with research interest.
The fellowship is through the University of Illinois College of Medicine, the OSF Saint Francis Center for Breast Health, and OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, a 600+ bed Level I Trauma Center. It is staffed by five Breast Imaging Radiologists and a dedicated group of technologists and clerical staff. Additionally, there are three dedicated Nurse Navigators and a genetics specialist who runs the High Risk Assessment Program. The facilities include the OSF Saint Francis Center for Breast Health and three outlying screening sites which together have seven full-field digital Hologic Dimensions 3D Mammography Units. R2 ImageChecker CAD is used for all screening and diagnostic exams. In addition, the OSF Saint Francis Center for Breast Health is equipped with two dedicated Philips iU22 ultrasound units, two Philips EPIQ 5G Affirm prone ultrasound units, a Hologic stereotactic unit with the Brevera biopsy specimen imaging system, a Hologic Affirm upright stereotactic biopsy unit, a GE Signa HDx 1.5 T MRI system with Sentinelle Vanguard Breast MR Auxiliary Table and Suros Eviva breast biopsy system, and a Hologic Horizon A bone densitometry unit.
