Description :

When the American Board of Radiology changed the radiology board certification process from the three exam format to the current two exam format, it not only changed the number of exams administered to radiology trainees but it also fundamentally changed the way that the content was tested. The current examinations are image-rich exams that test higher-order reasoning instead of simple rote memorization of facts. In addition, the testing of practical day-to-day practice scenarios is now emphasized instead of random and obscure conditions.

In preparing this book, we tried to keep the above guidelines in mind. We, along with our contributors Dr. Paul Clark and Dr. Kathleen Schenker, believe that we have written a book that is full of high-quality image-rich questions about conditions commonly encountered in the daily practice of pediatric radiology. The questions are mainly based on scenarios commonly encountered in the day-to-day practice of pediatric radiology. In addition, the questions are also designed to be thought-provoking and designed to test higher-order reasoning. It is our hope that this format will be more interesting than the old-style review books, which often tested rote memorization.

All of us have enjoyed learning about pediatric radiology from the many outstanding attending pediatric radiologists we have worked with during our training. We have also been blessed to work with many wonderfu colleagues as junior faculty, which have served as mentors and continued to help us grow as pediatric radiologists. We would like to take the time to thank all of these individuals.

In writing this book, we hope to be able to share our knowledge imparted to us with the next generation of radiology trainees. It is extremely gratifying for us to be able to help our trainees learn about pediatric radiology and to watch them succeed and progress in their careers. We hope that our trainees will use the knowledge gained in this book to provide high-quality care for the pediatric patients and their respective families that they will encounter in their training and professional career. Furthermore, this book should serve as a useful resource for radiologists at more advanced stages of their career, including practicing radiologists.

Finally, this book would not be possible without the understanding of our families. Writing this book obviously represents a significant time commitment, and we would like to thank you for your support.
