Educational Goals and Objectives for the
Neuroradiology Radiology Rotation
The following goals and objectives
should be used in the evaluation of residents rotating through
Neuroradiology. Competency by PGY level should be based on these
criteria:
PGY I
- The resident should become familiar with normal anatomy and with
pathology of the brain and spine as demonstrated primarily on CT
scans and, with supervision, the resident will learn to perform myelography.
PGY II
- In addition to the above, the
resident will become familiar with anatomy and pathology of the
brain and spine as demonstrated by MR scanning.
- Resident will understand the
safety precautions necessary in the MR environment
- Resident will learn anatomy and
pathology of the head and neck, to include sinus and temporal bone
studies, incorporating CT and MR imaging
PGY III
- In addition to the above, the resident will perform neuroangiography
with supervision
- Resident may have exposure to disk
biopsies, discographies, and other spine intervention procedures
- Resident will master Physics
curriculum for CT, MR, and angiography and additionally understand
safety issues regarding these modalities and use of appropriate
contrast agents. This expertise will be demonstrated on the written
boards.
PGY IV
- In addition to the above, the resident will integrate interpretive
neuroradiology skills, using MR, CT, myelography, and angiography to
evaluate disorders of the brain, spine, head and neck, providing
consultation to the referring clinicians and house staff.
- The
resident will prepare for the Neuroradiology section of the boards.
Pediatric Radiology rotation
- Beginning in the first year with CT scans and progressing in
subsequent years to include MR scans, the resident will learn normal
anatomy and imaging of pathology in the pediatric brain, spine, head
and neck.
