Multimodality Imaging Training Curriculum — Parts II and III

The following sections of the document (Part II and III) list specific knowledge requirements for appropriate training in multimodality imaging for those whose background is in nuclear medicine and radiology respectively (PET/CT, SPECT/CT). Apart from specified training items it is understood that practising multimodality imaging requires certain skills above and beyond those enumerated under specific pathology areas. These include knowledge of emergency imaging findings as relevant to each specific organ system (BK0Basic Knowledge), interpretation and management of unexpected findings in the imaging of each organ system (CS0Core Skills), an understanding of the process of justification of requests for imaging investigation and appropriateness criteria (CS), creation of a structured, coherent, and clinically relevant imaging report (CS), an understanding of the medico-legal implication of imaging practice (CS), basics of oncogenesis including elements of cell biology and genetics (BK), principles of systemic, regional and targeted therapies (BK), principles and application of screening methodologies (BK).
