Curriculum
The diagnostic imaging physics residency program includes a series of rotations in various imaging modalities to ensure residents meet all CAMPEP standards to take part II of the ABR boards. Residents in this program will be exposed to both the theory and practice of diagnostic medical physics and will be trained in the basic physics of each modality and the rationale for the various quality assurance projects. Residents will also be involved in the analysis and troubleshooting of real-world diagnostic imaging problems including the identification and correction of image artefacts and other equipment issues. Residents will participate in conferences, monthly journal clubs, and other presentations throughout the department.
