The Rendon C. Nelson, MD

About the Program

Duke University’s Department of Radiology and Bracco Diagnostics Inc. have a long history of partnering and mentoring aspiring academic radiologists through the Rendon C. Nelson, MD, Duke-Bracco Radiology Fellowship Program. Fostering the careers of radiologists for over 20 years, the fellowship program was conceived in 2003 by Rendon C. Nelson, MD, who served as division chief of abdominal imaging, vice chair of research, as well as vice chair of appointments and promotion in the department of radiology. At Dr. Nelson’s recent retirement, the program was renamed in his honor. “We want our fellows to have a very rich mentoring experience so when they leave Duke, they are successful wherever they go,” says Dr. Nelson.

The two-year fellowship has been pivotal in jump starting the careers of 9 radiologists.

There are a lot of great places where you can do clinical research, but what makes Duke special is the connection between the radiology department and other departments within our network. This translates into innovative research that answers clinically relevant questions.

Daniele Marin, MD, abdominal imaging faculty, associate professor, and director of the Multi-Dimensional Lab at Duke Radiology, is a former Duke-Bracco fellow. He is now taking on the role of leading the program. Sharing his perspectives about the program, Dr. Marin states, “There are a lot of great places where you can do clinical research, but what makes Duke special is the connection between the radiology department and other departments within our network. This translates into innovative research that answers clinically relevant questions.”
