Rationale And Objectives:
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid transition to virtual interviews for Radiology residency programs, fundamentally altering the recruitment landscape. While virtual interviews have demonstrated cost-effectiveness and accessibility benefits, standardized etiquette guidelines remain underdeveloped. This study assesses Radiology residency program directors' perspectives on virtual interview etiquette and establishes evidence-based recommendations for professional conduct during virtual recruitment.
Methods And Materials:
A comprehensive survey was distributed to all Radiology residency program directors in the United States to evaluate their experiences with virtual interviews and gather insights on appropriate virtual interview etiquette. Survey responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis to identify key themes and recommendations.
Results:
Program directors identified several critical areas for virtual interview etiquette, including technical preparation, professional presentation, appropriate virtual environments, and effective communication strategies. Most respondents emphasized the importance of treating virtual interviews with the same professionalism as in-person encounters while adapting to the unique challenges of the digital format.
Conclusion:
Virtual interview etiquette represents an essential component of professional residency recruitment. Establishing clear expectations for both applicants and programs should enhance the virtual interview experience.

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...

Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...

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...

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...
