Diagnostic Radiology- BI
This four
week elective in Diagnostic Radiology can be taken anytime after the
required two week Radiology Clerkship. It's purpose is to familiarize the student with imaging procedures,
their important in the diagnostic armamentaria, and with an intelligent
approach to order imaging studies and filling out imaging consultation requests in a manner that will aid the
radiologist in making as precise a diagnosis as possible. The student
will understand the physical consequences to the patient and final impact on society of specific imaging studies. The
student will achieve sufficient understand of common imaging studies to be able to engage in
a more meaningful dialog with the radiologist consultant. The student will attend didactic
lectures specifically for the students and participate procedures will enable the student to
understand the stress
patients have to endure in these procedures as well as give the student
a better three dimensional idea of imaging anatomy. The student will participate
in image interpretation in an active manner. The student will be assessed by the attendings and
residents with whom they interact, and a quiz may be given at the completion of the elective.
In addition, the student may undertake a research project with one of
the faculty members. Such a project may require additional time and/or
ongoing work after the elective is complete. If suitable, the project may be submitted for publication.

The pediatric radiology
elective services primarily to acquaint the student with an appropriate
clinic-radiological approach to problem solving in the pediatric patient,
based on a knowledge of normal, departures from normal, and a familiarity
with audiological tools and methods. About half the time is spent working
along with one of the pediatric radiology faculty members either in patient
care or in tutorial. The remainder of the time is spent in conference
or carrying out library-research assignments.

On the first day of elective the student should meet in Room
BS-53 - Jacobi Medical Center - 8:15 A.M.
This elective,
designed to emphasize the practical role of diagnostic radiology and patient management and the relationship
of radiology to the other clinical disciplines. Observation and participation
in roentgenographic
interpretations, radiological procedures, clinical conferences, seminars and formal presentations
are the methods of learning during this elective course, with the availability
of teaching cases. This course is available at the
Jack D. Weiler Hospital of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.

On the first day of elective students should meet WHAECOM-Rm 3 006-9:00A.M.
The emergency radiology
elective is designed to familiarize the student with all imaging modalities
of use in acutely ill patients. This will include the interpretation of
emergency room x-ray and CT scans of acutely ill patients. In addition
the student will observe all further procedures carried out on the admitted
patient as well as attend all radiology conferences.
The subinternship
elective will include about half time with the attending radiologist reviewing
studies performed on ER patients, one fourth of the period will be spend
with house staff and one forth in conference with radiology residents
and attendings. In addition, the student may be asked to research any
ongoing projects in emergency radiology.

This elective will
introduce the student to the world of musculoskeletal disorders. The emphasis
is placed on the understanding of the diseases as well as their radiographic
presentations and modifications caused by therapeutic intervention. Biomechanics
and cellular biology are crucial to the understanding of both orthopedic
and rheumatologic disorders and their radiographic features are explained
using these concepts. The optimal approaches to the radiologic evaluation
is stressed. Imaging studies, especially CT and MR are integral parts
of this elective.
Participation in
a research project is encouraged but not required.

The Neuroradiology
elective consists of daily film review sessions in CT and MR imaging in
addition to review of neuroradiologic special procedures, i.e. myelography
and angiography. Emphasis is placed on head and neck and neuroanatomy
in the various imaging modalities, including detailed reviews of the pertinent
vascular anatomy.
Clinical case material
is reviewed in consideration of differential diagnoses and indications
for further diagnostic evaluation.
Weekly combined conference are held with the neurology and neurosurgery
clinical services, and there are two training level conferences held
weekly. Once familiar with imaging anatomy, and clinical indications
for procedures, students may observe these procedures under the direct
supervision of faculty.

On the First day of elective, students should meet at M.C. (Moses Division)
Department of Radiology 8:00 a.m.
This elective will
serve to familiarize the student with Ultrasound scanning techniques
and image interpretation. Emphasis will be on acquiring anatomical concepts
and an appreciation of how pathology departs from normal. The student
will be expected to first observe scanning in the examining room, and
then to acquire hands on skill in performing the ultrasound examinations.
Approximately half
the time will be spent with the attendings and fellows in film interpretation
and conferences. Correlation between ultrasound, other imaging modalities,
and pathology will be made if it is appropriate. There will also be opportunity
for the student to engage in research if desired.

C512 Multidisciplinary Approach to Breast
Cancer: Imaging, Surgery, Oncology, Radiation and Pathology- Jacobi
Medical Center
This elective is designed to introduce the
student to diagnosis and management of breast cancer. Observation
and participation in breast imaging and intervention (mammography,
ultrasound, and MRI with Dr. David) comprise about half of the elective.
The student will rotate, at least once weekly, in Breast Surgery (in
both the operating room and the surgical breast clinic, with Dr. Maria
Castaldi) and in Oncology breast clinic (Dr. Tarek Elrafei).
Several times during the rotation, the student will have the opportunity
to become acquainted with Radiation Oncology (Dr. Marnee Spierer,
WHAECOM) and with Pathology (Dr. Michelle Simmons). Attendance at
a weekly interdepartmental conference provides additional exposure to
the interrelationship of clinical disciplines in patient care.
Additionally, an opportunity to participate in Breast MRI clinical
research is provided for interested students.

This four
week elective in diagnostic radiology can be taken anytime after the
required two week Radiology clerkship. This elective allows the
student access to daily film interpretation and, if desired by the
student an active part in the procedural aspects of Diagnostic
Radiology. Daily morning and afternoon teaching conferences are
held. Teaching cases and reading materials supplement the teaching
program.
All effort will be made to accommodate the student in his/her choice of
subspecialty or subspecialties. He/She will be assigned to the
chief of the particular specialty, and may participate in general
radiological interpretations, conferences and seminars. The
student will be assessed by the Attendings with whom they interact.
In addition, they will be required to deliver a 15 minute oral
presentation on the radiological manifestations of a topic of their
choice.
In addition, the student may undertake a research project with one of
the faculty members. Such a project may require additional time
and/or ongoing work after the elective is complete. If suitable,
the project may be submitted for publication.
