Educational Goals and Objectives for the
Cardiovascular Imaging Rotation
To provide the radiology resident with
the knowledge and skills to provide competent services regarding
cardiovascular imaging utilizing multiple appropriate modalities. The
teaching objectives of this rotation will be accomplished
through a combination of active resident participating in the
activities of cardiovascular imaging, review of case material in the
teaching file, reading and didactic lectures.
PGY I
-
Resident should become familiar with normal anatomy and with
pathology of the cardiovascular system as demonstrated primarily on
plain films and CT scans. Emphasis will be placed on normal variants
and life threatening changes.
PGY II
-
All the above and the resident will
become familiar with anatomy and pathology of the cardiovascular
system as demonstrated by MR scanning.
-
Resident will understand the safety
precautions necessary in the MR environment.
-
Resident will learn anatomy and
pathology of the cardiovascular system to include congenital
abnormalities, post-surgical changes, traumatic injury, systemic
disease and masses.
PGY III
-
All the above and the resident will master Physics curriculum for
CT, MR and angiography and additionally understand safety issues
regarding these modalities and use of appropriate contrast agents.
PGY IV
-
All of the above and the resident will
integrate interpretive skills, using MR, CT, echocardiography and
angiography to evaluate disorders of the cardiovascular system,
providing consultation to the referring clinicians and house staff.
-
The resident will prepare for the
cardiovascular section of the boards.
Pediatric Radiology Rotation
-
Beginning in the first year with plain films and CT scans, and
progressing in subsequent years to include MR scans, the resident
will learn normal anatomy and imaging of pathology in the pediatric
cardiovascular system.
