Abstract:
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education is currently in the process of specialty-by-specialty revision of the Milestones. As a result, the Neuroradiology Milestones 2.0 Workgroup was created to refine a system of competency-based assessments for fellow educational growth and development. Strengths of the new Milestones include decreased complexity and uniformity within a subcompetency as it relates to a specific educational development trajectory. The Supplemental Guide serves to decrease clutter in the Milestones 2.0 document and provides a more practical resource for guidance. This article serves to review the history of the Neuroradiology Milestones, followed by a summary of the timeline of events and discussions of the workgroup for development of Neuroradiology Milestones 2.0 and a synopsis of major changes. The plan is for the updated Neuroradiology Milestones to take effect in 2021 or 2022 based on public commentary.

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...
