The post will include one session a week of dedicated research time and fellows will be expected to produce at least one peer reviewed research project over the course of the year. There is also opportunity for one session of paediatric MSK radiology if desired. We have two 1.5T MRI scanners, a 3T MRI and four CT scanners ranging from 128 multi-slice systems and a dual source CT. Orthopaedic out-patients and elective surgery are based at the BGH where there is a third 1.5T MRI scanner.
