Question 2: The purpose of the diagnostic radiology residents physics curriculum prepared by the AAPM Imaging Physics Curricula Subcommittee is
Reference:Diagnostic Radiology Residents Physics Curriculum: Updated December 2015 (https://www.aapm.org/education/ERG/DIARAD/)
Choice A:To specifically prepare residents for the ABR examination.
Choice B:To provide an outline for a course in imaging physics so that all areas of each curriculum module can be taught with the same emphasis.
Choice C:To outline the breadth and depth of scientific knowledge underlying the practice of diagnostic radiology.
Choice D:To address the ABR categories of fundamental radiologic concepts, imaging methods, and organ systems directly.
Question 3: Appropriately what percentage of the concepts that students receiving traditional didactic lectures can master, on average, assuming they didn’t know those concepts at the start of the class?
