American Board of Radiology Certification Exam

American Board of Radiology Radiologists entering this pathway should grasp anatomy across all body systems, physics principles governing electromagnetic radiation, and pathophysiology of disease processes. Cross-sectional imaging? CT, MRI, ultrasound? requires spatial reasoning and pattern recognition honed through prior coursework. Medical school fundamentals in physiology and pharmacology form the baseline; fellowship candidates typically complete diagnostic radiology residency first, establishing competency in plain radiography, fluoroscopy, and basic interpretation before advancing to subspecialty certification.
