What DR studies are IRs Generally Expected to Read in Private Practice?
What DR studies are IRs generally expected to read in Private Practice?
For those of you in a mixed IR/DR practice, do you read plain film and basic cross sectional imaging only (CT CAP, Head CTs, etc)? Do you read any Nucs, and if so, do you read PET? Do you do Mammo? Do you do any MRI, or do you leave that to the subspecialists in your group (MSK MR, Abdo MR, Brain/Spine MR, etc)?
I’m an IR/DR resident who is given the opportunity to pick some elective DR rotations, and I’m wondering if I should just add bread and butter rotations (Body CT), or try to get some extra time in Abdo MR, Neuro or MSK since I’m less comfortable reading MR in those sections.
Thanks! -

Vascular imaging. Otherwise would spend time in MRI. I imagine you get plenty of exposure to CT imaging on call

Would get vascular imaging rotations. Many Ir training programs do not formally teach vascular imaging such as CTA or vascular US

Get the additional training in the areas you don’t feel confident about.
What you have to read will depend on what size practice you are going to join. There is a difference between 8 man practice and a 30 person shop.
