Author Description

Assess your knowledge of the physics of radiology with the CPI Physics in Imaging Special Edition Module, part of the ACR® Continuous Professional Improvement (CPI) program. Designed to be an excellent, and at times challenging, teaching and learning tool for general diagnostic radiologists, subspecialists, and residents, this 50-question self-assessment module aims to provide both basic and advanced physics principles as they apply to imaging. This module includes: CPI's classic question and answer format emphasizing physics concepts that can be applied to daily clinical work; questions including those assessing relevant imaging modalities, including CT, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, and MRI; comprehensive explanations of each test question topic to provide an improved understanding of day-to-day imaging physics challenges; and detailed discussion of the causes of various imaging artifacts and how to correct them.
