Does hands-on obstetric US experience improve performance on the radiology oral board examination?
Radiology resident performance in obstetric US on the American Board of Radiology Oral Board Examination is similar for programs that provide the opportunity for hands-on obstetric scanning compared with those that do not.
This study demonstrates that while most tumors discovered by imaging were small and early stage, almost half of advanced (Stage III and IV) WDTCs were initially discovered by imaging studies. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that the frequent use of imaging studies may explain not only the increasing incidence of early WDTC, but more advanced thyroid cancers as well.
