Emergency radiology services at medical schools in the United States.

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Little has been published on the delivery of emergency radiologic services in academic radiology training programs. METHODS: The author surveyed 127 medical schools in the United States concerning aspects of radiology services for their emergency rooms, including who interprets images, what training in emergency radiology is provided, and problems with film retrieval. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Emergency department radiographs most often are initially interpreted by a radiology resident and subsequently reviewed by a faculty radiologist who does not have a major interest in or time commitment to emergency radiology. Most schools describe problems such as disappearance of emergency department films and a paucity of provided clinical information. Only one third of schools provide formal instruction in emergency radiology for their radiology residents.

The arcuate foramen. Variability in distribution related to race and sex.

The occurrence, varieties, and distribution by race and sex of the arcuate foramina observed in 1,000 consecutively seen cervical spine radiographs are reported. The complete foramen is significantly more common in males, without any racial predilection. The partial foramen is commonest in white females. The rate of occurrence seems independent of age.

A joint course in emergency radiology for residents in radiology and in emergency medicine.

A basic course in emergency radiology has been developed and taught jointly to first- and second-year radiology residents and emergency medicine residents at the Medical College of Georgia. The course, comprising thirty-five lectures, was presented in a 5-month block. Both written and practical examinations were administered at the end of the course, and the course was evaluated by the participating residents. There was little overlap in examination scores between emergency medicine and radiology residents, with radiology residents scoring higher than emergency medicine residents. There was a wider gap in scores between the two groups on the practical than on the written examination. All participants considered the course useful and the material presented to be immediately applicable.
