Radiology residents
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Radiology Training
Background:
- The teaching role of radiology residents is under-evaluated.
- Limited data exists on the evolution of resident teaching skills without formal guidance.
Purpose of the Study:
- Identify resident characteristics linked to superior teaching effectiveness.
- Compare teaching skills between junior and senior radiology residents.
Main Methods:
- Multi-centric study across seven Lebanese medical schools.
- Anonymous self-assessment questionnaire distributed to 69 radiology residents.
- Analysis of 57 (83%) responses, comparing junior and senior resident data.
Main Results:
- Overall teaching effectiveness correlates with knowledge, technical skills, communication, and feedback.
- Senior residents self-rated higher in radiology knowledge and technical skills, but not overall teaching effectiveness.
- Seniors showed a trend towards improved teaching skills, despite challenges.
Conclusions:
- Effective radiology resident teaching depends on specific skills and feedback mechanisms.
- Senior residents demonstrate skill improvement but still encounter teaching challenges.
- Formal teaching guidance may enhance resident pedagogical development.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
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...

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
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...
Positron Emission Tomography
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
