UAB has strong pulmonary medicine and cardiothoracic surgery divisions and the fellows will get good exposure to varied aspects of thoracic imaging including but not limited to interstitial lung disease, transplant imaging, advanced cardiovascular surgeries. The Divisions of Cardiology and Radiology jointly conduct the clinical activities of Cardiovascular MRI; more than 700 cardiovascular MRI examinations were performed last year.
