Fellowship Programs

The Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences offers 13 fellowship programs (including IR programs) that provide advanced subspecialty education and clinical training for graduates of diagnostic radiology residency programs. These training programs build on knowledge acquired during residency and prepare fellows to function as experts in an area of sub-specialization.

Advance your education at Indiana University

By training in the largest medical enterprise within Indiana, which serves as a referral center for the entire state, radiology fellows are exposed to a wide range of imaging and pathology cases in a collegial work environment. Combined with a vast array of leading-edge technology, world renowned radiologists, referring physicians and interdepartmental/multidisciplinary conferences, fellows mature their clinical skillset and transition to autonomous sub-specialists. At the completion fellowship training, fellows are ready for independent practice in either academic or private practice settings.

ACGME-accredited fellowship programs

Nucharin (Tanya) Supakul, MD, program director

The neuroradiology fellowship is an ACGME accredited one-year program that offers an option for a second year focused on research and subspecialty training in advanced imaging, head and neck imaging, or pediatric neuroimaging. This training program provides an abundant and diverse caseload to allow fellows to experience the full range of neuropathology. Ample resources for mentorship in both the clinical and academic settings are also available for future neuroradiologists.

Cindy Yuan, MD, PhD, program director

The nuclear radiology fellowship program is a one-year ACGME-accredited program that offers subspecialty clinical training in all aspects of nuclear radiology, including general nuclear medicine studies, PET/CTs and radioligand therapies. The program uniquely offers exposure to PET/MR and interpretation of EA-IND PET tracers, like F-18 FET and F-18 fluorocholine. There are also optional rotations in other subspecialties or a community practice setting. Fellows train at IU Health University Hospital, IU Health Methodist Hospital and Riley Hospital for Children under the guidance of accomplished physician educators.

Megan B. Marine, MD, program director

The pediatric radiology Fellowship is an ACGME accredited program that offers subspecialty clinical training in all aspects of pediatric radiology, including radiographs, fluoroscopy, CT, MRI and US, with dedicated rotations in nuclear medicine, fetal ultrasound, interventional radiology, neuroradiology and hands-on ultrasound scanning. Fellows train at Riley Hospital for Children under the guidance of accomplished physician educators. This fellowship offers valuable growth opportunities in teaching and research.

The department also sponsors nine non-ACGME fellowships that are approved by the IU School of Medicine Office of Graduate Medical Education.

Non-ACGME-accredited fellowship programs

Jordan Swensson, MD, program director

This one-year, non-ACGME-accredited body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Fellowship focuses on abdominal and pelvic MRI and with up to two months’ electives in neurology, musculoskeletal health or cardiovascular MRI. This fellowship is approved by the IU School of Medicine Office of Graduate Medical Education and designed for fellows who are familiar with the technical and clinical aspects of body MRI and who intend to practice advanced body MRI in their career.

Nucharin (Tanya) Supakul, MD, program director

The Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences offers a one-year, non-ACGME-accredited fellowship in advanced neuroimaging. This program is designed for fellows interested in adding a second year to the neuroradiology fellowship in pursuit of a career in academic medicine in this subspecialty area or clinical practice in advanced tumor, epilepsy or functional imaging.

Katie Niemeyer, MD, program director

Fellows in the breast imaging fellowship gain clinical experience in screening and diagnostic mammography, diagnostic ultrasound, and the full range of breast interventional procedures. They learn digital interpretation skills using both Hologic and General Electric (GE) workstations as well as MRI-interpretation skills using CADstream and DynaCAD. Additional experience and research opportunities are available in MR imaging and MR-guided breast interventions. This is a one-year non-ACGME-accredited fellowship that’s approved and supported by the Graduate Medical Education of IU School of Medicine.

Kyle M. Malecki, MD, program director

The cardiothoracic imaging fellowship includes a comprehensive curriculum that centers on thoracic and cardiac imaging. Clinical training includes plain film and cross-sectional (CT and MRI) interpretation as well as invasive procedures of the thorax. Cross-sectional imaging of the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems is covered, and fellows perform and interpret pulmonary and cardiac imaging studies for both adult and pediatric patients. This is a one-year, non-ACGME fellowship program that’s approved and supported by the IU School of Medicine Office of Graduate Medical Education.

Benjamin R. Gray, MD, program director

The head and neck radiology fellowship provides dedicated subspecialty training in head and neck imaging, which addresses emerging needs due to significant advancements in the fields of otolaryngology and head and neck oncology. This subspecialty fellowship is conducted in the neuroradiology section of the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences, which benefits from a large, diverse clinical caseload and participation of nationally recognized faculty educators in the areas of neuroradiology, otolaryngology, medical and radiation oncology, ophthalmology and neurosurgery. This is a one-year, non-ACGME fellowship program that’s approved and supported by the IU School of Medicine Office of Graduate Medical Education.

Nucharin (Tanya) Supakul, MD, program director

The pediatric neuroradiology fellowship was developed in 2009 as an opportunity to transfer the wealth of clinical pathology and faculty expertise in pediatric neuroimaging to the next generation of neuroradiologists. This program helps to meet the growing demand for expertise in pediatric neuroimaging and is one of among only a handful of similar training programs in the nation. This one-year program offers intensive training in all aspects of diagnostic pediatric neuroimaging through an abundant and diverse caseload.

Scott D. Steenburg, MD, program director

The trauma and emergency radiology fellowship is based primarily at IU Health Methodist Hospital, one of the largest hospitals in the United States and the busiest Level 1 trauma center in Indiana. The IU Health Level 1 trauma centers, including Eskenazi Hospital and Riley Hospital for Children, evaluate over 250,000 patients including more than 6,500 trauma patients ordering more than 200,000 radiologic exams each year. This is a one-year, non-ACGME fellowship program that’s approved and supported by the IU School of Medicine Office of Graduate Medical Education.

All fellows in a Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences training program are required to do one research project for the Campbell-Klatte lecture series at Indiana University and submit the project for peer-reviewed publication. Fellows have academic time each week with some flexibility in the schedule that enable them to further develop areas of interest. Fellows receive four weeks of vacation and one week for conference attendance, if the fellow has a scientific abstract accepted at a national meeting (e.g. RSNA, ARRS, ASER or another as approved by the program director).
