Abstract:
Changes to the ABR certification process are imminent, with a core examination after 36 months of training and a certifying examination 15 months after the completion of training replacing the current examination structure for residents entering training in July 2010 and beyond. The Residency Restructuring Committee of the Association of Program Directors in Radiology was developed to analyze the challenges and opportunities of these upcoming changes and provide recommendations to programs. The guidelines included in this article represent a summary of the work of this committee to date.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
