ABOMR Review Course

June 23 – 26, 2013

The University of Iowa

College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics

INTRODUCTION

ABOMR review course has been designed to help the oral and maxillofacial radiology residents prepare for the Part I and Part II radiology board exam. The course consists of four days of lecture with the first two days allocated to the Part I (Physics and radiation biology and protection) and the last two days to the Part II (Interpretation).

This course is a comprehensive review, as such a basic knowledge of topics will be assumed.

Faculty: Dr. Walter Huda, Dr. Axel Ruprecht and Dr. Veeratrishul Allareddy (Appendix 1)

Format: Review of board topics as specified in the Study Guide and as outlined in the ABOMR section of the AAOMR website: http://c.ymcdn.com/sites/www.aaomr.org/resource/resmgr/ABOMR/StudyGuideForCandidates2010.pdf

Dr. Huda will review radiation physics, radiation biology, digital radiology and principles of advanced imaging (MRI, CT, Ultrasound, etc) with an expanded emphasis given on CT and MRI topics, radiation dosimetry and radiation protection.

Dr. Axel Ruprecht and Dr. Veeratrishul Allareddy will review principles of CBCT, interpretive methods as well as the pathophysiology concepts of various diseases by projecting cases and engaging residents to participate in board style question and answers. These cases are designed to review successful strategies and common pitfalls.

Appendix 1

Dr. Walter Huda:

Professor of Radiology

Dr. Huda trained in England (Physics BA at Oxford University; Medical Physics PhD at the Hammersmith Hospital/University of London) and worked from 1976-81 at Amersham International, a commercial company specializing in radioactive products. He has worked as a diagnostic medical physicist at the Manitoba Cancer Treatment and Research Foundation in Winnipeg, Canada (1982-1990), University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida (1990-1997) and at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY (1997-2007). He is currently Professor of Radiology at the Medical University of South Carolina.

Dr. Huda is actively involved in the clinical use of medical imaging equipment, particularly maximizing the diagnostic information while keeping patient doses as low as reasonably achievable (ALARA). Dr Huda’s primary research activities relate to medical imaging and radiation dosimetry. Since the early 1980’s, Dr Huda pioneered the use of the effective dose to quantify the radiation dose received by patients undergoing radiological examinations that use ionizing radiation. Dr. Huda has also developed quantitative methods for quantifying imaging performance. Dr. Huda is currently actively involved in the use of Alternative Forced Choice (AFC) methods for measuring imaging performance in CT, and investigating the trade off between dose and image quality in this imaging modality. Dr. Huda has published over 200 scientific papers and has been awarded 24 research grants with a total value approaching $4 million.

Dr. Huda has is actively involved with the physics education of radiology residents, and is the author of the best-selling Review of Radiologic Physics. He has been awarded numerous awards for teaching radiology residents (e.g., Silver Spoon; Robert E Heitzman), and is frequently invited to speak to Radiology departments as a Visiting Professor. He is a Fellow of the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and an Honorary Member of the Society of Pediatric Radiology. Dr. Huda reviews for many imaging journals (e.g., Medical Physics, Radiology and AJR), and has been involved on the editorial boards of number of national journals (e.g., Radiology, Medical Physics, Pediatric Radiology) as well as international journals (British Journal of Radiology, J of Ukrainian Radiology). Dr. Huda is currently helping to write a report on Dose and Image Quality in CT for the International Commission on Radiological Units and Measurements (ICRU).
