PET Fellowship at University of Iowa 2022-2023
The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics has an opening for its one-year non-ACGME accredited fellowship in Positron Emission Tomography for 2022-2023. The fellowship provides extensive clinical PET-CT training and research opportunities with the opportunity to work with novel PET radiopharmaceuticals. As a fellow associate faculty member, the candidate will be expected to participate in teaching and tumor boards. Duties will include participating in the general nuclear medicine call pool.
The nuclear medicine faculty at the University of Iowa includes 6 MD and 7 PhD faculty. Nuclear medicine instrumentation includes four PET-CT scanners and 6 modern gamma cameras, including 2 SPECT-CT systems.
The PET Center is equipped with a cyclotron and extensive radiochemistry laboratories that routinely provide F-18 FDG, Ga-68 DOTATOC, and O-15 water radiopharmaceuticals for diagnostic imaging procedures. PET imaging studies are performed on the most advanced high sensitivity/high resolution PET/CT scanners. Diagnostic PET procedures include brain perfusion and metabolic imaging, myocardial perfusion and metabolic imaging, and tumor imaging using the PET/CT scanner to provide attenuation corrected tumor physiologic data fused with diagnostic quality CT data for optimal tumor localization.
Nuclear Medicine/ PET Center staff are involved in a range of research activities including:
Anti-tumor radiolabeled proteins for diagnosis and treatment of specific cancers
PET brain function and dementia studies
PET/CT prostate cancer imaging
PET/CT imaging to monitor the effect of cancer chemotherapy and radiation therapy protocols
Development of new PET radiopharmaceuticals for use in diagnostic cancer imaging.
