CLINICAL FELLOWSHIP IN
CARDIAC IMAGING
learn from the best
The Joint Department of Medical Imaging (JDMI) manages the imaging needs of three of Canada’s premier research and teaching hospitals /hospital organizations across five physical sites, including the Toronto General Hospital, Toronto Western Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital, Princess Margaret Hospital, and Women’s College Hospital. The Cardiovascular & Thoracic division comprises 19 Cardiothoracic radiologists.
The Cardiovascular Division at JDMI is responsible for all Cardiac CT and Cardiovascular MR Imaging at the hospitals listed above. This includes all services for the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre (PMCC) and positions itself among Canada’s leading non-invasive cardiovascular imaging programs. Currently, the department conducts approximately 3700 to 3900 adult cardiovascular MR exams annually, which encompass a significant Cardiomyopathy/Heart Failure program, one of the most extensive Adult Congenital Heart Disease programs, and a large Aortopathies program. The cardiac CT program includes annual exams extending from a structural heart disease program (including TAVR, Mitral valve interventions, LAA occlusion devices) to a large coronary artery disease population and congenital heart program.
The Thoracic Imaging section performs over 500 MR, 50,000 CT, and over 700 CT-guided lung biopsies each year. This extensive case volume offers robust exposure to a broad spectrum of thoracic diseases and advanced procedural techniques.
