Please click here for a list of revised modules and key contributors involved in the development and continued management of the RSNA/AAPM Physics Modules.
The modules are designed to supplement physics curricula at radiology residencies and to be a resource for continued self-study by radiologists. The modules are one resource that may be used in addition to other forms of self-study such as text books, journal articles, and other online resources. In addition, educators may find them useful as a framework or supplement for didactic lessons. The modules are not intended to be the primary or sole source of information for residents preparing for board exams.
These modules are available to RSNA members and AAPM members as part of the benefits of membership. If you have questions, comments or would like citation details for a specific module, please email physics@rsna.org
