FOUR STARS from Doody's Star Ratings™

Leading educators provide thought-provoking board review focused on the new Noninterpretive Skills module on ABR exams

This robust study guide is ideal for American Board of Radiology (ABR) exam preparation, mirroring the syllabus in the new Noninterpretive Skills (NIS) module for the Core, Certifying, and Maintenance of Certification exams. Skilled radiologists with NIS expertise provide board-type questions and high-yield pearls on why the keys to a successful radiology practice involve more than "just reading 'em right."

The ABR safeguards the public through careful licensing of radiologists who demonstrate the highest commitment to competence, professionalism, and safety. The NIS module was created in response to the fact that radiologists tend to be primarily diagnosis-oriented, but also need to master other important skills to attain and maintain excellence as practitioners.
