Neuroradiology Fellowship Program

Rush is a large university medical center, affiliated with Rush Medical College and Rush University, just West of downtown Chicago . Our inpatient facility features state-of-the-art equipment, including a Siemens Neurostar Bi-Plane Digital Angiography Unit, a recently installed state-of-the-art PET Scanner, a Siemens Sonata 1.5 T MR scanner, a GE Signa 1.5T MR Scanner and two GE 9800 CT Scanners. Our outpatient facility also features a GE Signa 1.5T MR Scanner as well as two Siemens Somatom Plus CT Scanners. Over the last 5 years, we have performed, on the average, 5,534 CT scans and 4,724 MR scans annually. We perform a wide range of interventional procedures, including diagnostic and interventional neuroangiography (366 cases/yr.), myelography (378 cases/yr.) and a variety of spinal interventional procedures including spine biopsy, discography, nerve blocks and epidural injections.

There is a wealth of pathology at Rush. Our Neurology Department is nationally known, featuring centers of epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, stroke and movement disorders. Equally strong is Orthopedics, featuring a center for scoliosis and spinal reconstructive surgery. Neurosurgery and ENT are strong departments as well, referring a wide variety of cranial, head/neck and skull base cases. There is a high volume of vascular work. We participated in the NASCET study.

The faculty is led by Michael Huckman, M.D., Sharon Byrd M.D., a pediatric neuroradiologist, Dean Elias, M.D., a general neuroradiologist specializing in spinal radiology.
