Abstract:
Interventional Radiology residency training programs experienced significant impacts secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. Prospective resident recruitment and resident education were particularly affected due to limitations on in-person gatherings in effort to curb exposure. Finding ways to mitigate the pandemic's effect on recruitment and education was a challenge faced by residency programs across the nation. This article discusses a single Interventional Radiology program's approach to adapting to the reality of limited interpersonal interaction as well as efforts to maintain engagement for resident recruitment and education in a virtual setting.

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...
Imaging Studies III: Gastrointestinal Motility Studies and Virtual Colonoscopy
Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...
