Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotations; radiologic imaging 1: Plain films.
Interpretation of radiologic images is an essential skill for the emergency physician. This is the first of two sets of objectives for an off-service rotation in radiology. It covers the interpretation of plain films. The second series will address commonly used, but more sophisticated, imaging modalities including the use of contrast materials, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. This set of objectives may be used to guide a one-month radiology rotation or serve as part of a teaching program integrated with didactic training and emergency department experience.
