Dr. Muthu Kumar Sakthivel, MD, Assistant Professor, Cardiothoracic Imaging and Director of the Cardiothoracic Imaging Fellowship Program, has been elected as a Fellow of the Society for Cardiovascular MR (FSCMR)! This is a truly prestigious honor, recognizing pioneers in the field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Dr. Sakthivel is the first person from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to receive this distinction.
Despite many challenges, I remained focused on improving my skills as a cardiovascular imager, which enabled me to achieve this honor. This recognition belongs as much to our Cardiothoracic Imaging team as it does to me.
I’m excited to continue this important work and further strengthen our Cross-sectional Cardiac Imaging fellowship. I’m also eager to collaborate with Dr.Rebecca Hansen to enhance and enrich our Pediatric Cardiac Imaging聽program.
