ABR (NAR) study plan

Build a personal CT protocol and physics checklist covering windowing, contrast phases, and dose metrics, then recite each item from memory

Classify 40 CT cases by dominant pattern (focal lesion, diffuse disease, vascular, traumatic) and record the discriminating feature for each

Diagram the CT appearances of bowel obstruction, ischemia, and perforation side by side, noting the single most reliable sign for each

List the CT criteria that separate benign from malignant liver, adrenal, and renal masses and state which criterion you most often forget

Trace the GI differential for each abdominal pain quadrant and write the imaging test that best resolves it

Explain the LI-RADS and Bosniak frameworks aloud from memory, including the category that changes management

Compare the CT and MR appearances of hepatic steatosis, hemochromatosis, and Budd-Chiari in a written table

Summarize the workup sequence for hematuria, scrotal pain, and adnexal mass as three short flow diagrams

State the BI-RADS assessment categories and the management attached to each without notes

Contrast the indications and limitations of screening mammography, tomosynthesis, and breast ultrasound in a written paragraph each

Identify the classic radiographic appearances of the common fracture and arthritis patterns and label each on a self-drawn skeleton

Describe the MRI sequences used for internal derangement of the knee and shoulder and what each sequence best shows

Sequence the cardiac MR and CT examinations used for ischemia, viability, and cardiomyopathy and name the finding each is chosen to show

Recite the aortic dissection classification and the CT signs that distinguish true from false lumen

Map the MRI safety screening steps and the devices that remain contraindications

Explain the physics behind T1, T2, and FLAIR contrast in a way you could teach in five minutes

Localize the major intracranial hemorrhage and infarct patterns on a blank brain diagram and state the vascular territory for each

Order the imaging steps for acute stroke from presentation to treatment decision

List the indications, contraindications, and major complications for biopsy, drainage, and vascular access procedures

Describe the imaging findings that predict complications after ablation or embolization

Match the common radiopharmaceuticals to their clinical indications and state the normal biodistribution of each

Explain the rationale for PET/CT in staging and response assessment and the pitfalls that mimic disease

Compare pediatric and adult imaging protocols for radiation dose, sedation, and study choice

Recognize the pediatric-specific appearances of intussusception, pyloric stenosis, and malrotation and state the first-line study for each

Apply a structured quality-improvement framework to a fictional reporting error and write the corrective action plan

Summarize informed consent, reporting standards, and error disclosure expectations in a short written policy note

Review the vascular emergencies covered in week 4 and restate the key findings from memory without notes

Practice two timed sets of mixed-domain questions and log every missed concept by domain

Rank your domains by error-log frequency and spend the first half of the week on the two weakest

Complete two full-length timed practice exams under exam conditions

Restate the highest-yield fact for each domain in a single sentence per domain

Rewrite any cheat sheet that failed you during practice and confirm the corrected version from memory
