To describe the structure of a dedicated body oncologic imaging fellowship program. To summarize the numbers and types of cross-sectional imaging examinations reported by fellows.
The curriculum, training methods, and assessment measures utilized in the program were reviewed and described. An educational retrospective analysis was conducted. Data on the number of examinations interpreted by fellows, breakdown of modalities, and examinations by disease management team (DMT) were collected.
A total of 38 fellows completed the fellowship program during the study period. The median number of examinations reported per fellow was 2296 [interquartile range: 2148 - 2534], encompassing all oncology-relevant imaging modalities: CT 721 [646-786], MRI 1158 [1016-1309], ultrasound 256 [209-320] and PET/CT 176 [130-202]. The breakdown of examinations by DMT revealed variations in imaging patterns, with MRIs most frequently interpreted for genitourinary, musculoskeletal, and hepatobiliary cancers, and CTs most commonly for general staging or assessment of nonspecific symptoms.
This descriptive analysis may serve as a foundation for the development of similar fellowship programs and the advancement of body oncologic imaging. The volume and diversity of examinations reported by fellows highlights the comprehensive nature of body oncologic imaging.
描述一个专门的体部肿瘤影像 fellowship 项目的结构。总结 fellows 报告的横断面成像检查的数量和类型。
回顾并描述该项目中使用的课程、培训方法和评估措施。进行了一项教育回顾性分析。收集了 fellows 解读的检查数量、检查方式分类以及按疾病管理团队（DMT）分类的检查数据。
在研究期间，共有 38 名 fellows 完成了 fellowship 项目。每位 fellows 报告的检查中位数为 2296 次[四分位间距：2148 - 2534]，涵盖所有与肿瘤相关的成像方式：CT 721 次[646 - 786]、MRI 1158 次[1016 - 1309]、超声 256 次[209 - 320]以及 PET/CT 176 次[130 - 202]。按 DMT 分类的检查显示成像模式存在差异，MRI 最常用于泌尿生殖系统、肌肉骨骼系统和肝胆系统癌症的解读，而 CT 最常用于一般分期或非特异性症状的评估。
这种描述性分析可为类似 fellowship 项目的发展以及体部肿瘤影像的进步提供基础。fellows 报告的检查数量和多样性突出了体部肿瘤影像的综合性。
