conclusions trained emrs like their fellow rrs have the ability to perform fast scan with high diagnostic value in patients with blunt abdominal trauma. objectives this study was conducted to compare the diagnostic accuracy of fast performed by emergency medicine residents (emr) and radiology residents (rrs) in detecting peritoneal free fluids. patients and methods patients triaged in the emerg...

This article outlines a curriculum for resident education in musculoskeletal radiology that addresses the current requirements for assessment of the general competencies as set forth by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.

PURPOSE To evaluate the frequency of mobile technology and social media usage among radiology residents and their access to professional information. MATERIALS AND METHODS A questionnaire consisting of 24 questions prepared using Google Drive was sent via e-mail to 550 radiology residents throughout the country. Of the 176 participating residents, 74 completed the survey via the internet, and...

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to develop a curriculum to teach radiology residents communication skills through simulation. Communication skills are a core competency for which radiology residents must be evaluated. As Radiology has moved from " film " to PACS, opportunities for direct communication between Radiologists and referring clinicians have decreased. Additionally, radiologis...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Trainees' interpretations of neuroradiologic studies are finalized by faculty neuroradiologists. We aimed to identify the factors that determine the degree to which the preliminary reports are modified. MATERIALS AND METHODS The character length of the preliminary and final reports and the percentage character change between the 2 reports were determined for neuroradiol...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate any differences in the accuracy of knee MRI interpretation between radiology and orthopaedic surgery residents as well as to evaluate differences in quality of interpretation relative to resident training level. In this study, 20 MRI scans demonstrating specific pathology of the knee were identified. From one institution, two radiology residents and two...

Abdominal computed tomography (CT) is widely used as a diagnostic tool in emergency medicine (EM) to accurately diagnose abdominal pain. EM residents must be able to offer preliminary interpretations of CT imaging. In this study, we evaluated the preliminary interpretation ability of a sample of emergency residents presented with adult abdominal CT images, and compared their results with those ...
