Neuroradiology: imaging modalities; topics in neuroanatomy; pathologies involving the brain or skull (vascular diseases, trauma, neoplasia, infections, hydrocephalus, neurodegenerative and white matter diseases); pathologies involving the spine (degenerative disc disease, facet arthropathy, spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, trauma, neoplasia); pathologies involving the spinal cord (multiple sclerosis, vascular abnormalities, trauma, neoplasia); congenital abnormalities.
Head and neck radiology: imaging modalities; anatomy; pathologies of the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, orbits, and temporal bones; other heath and neck pathologies; examples of systemic diseases involving the heath and neck.
Pulmonary radiology: imaging modalities, anatomy and physiology, lung diseases (pneumonia, neoplasia, tuberculosis, pneumoconiosis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary embolism and infarction), pleural diseases.
Cardiac radiology: imaging modalities (e.g., CT coronary angiography, CT and MR angiography of the supraaortic vessels), anatomy and physiology, diseases of the heart and great vessels (congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, acquired valvular disease, pericardial effusion, aortic dissection, aneurysms, congenital abnormalities).
