Background: Fellows begin MRI training with variable experience and expertise. To better serve patients, pediatric radiology fellows should gain competence in MRI that enables seamless transition to independent practice.
Objective: We implemented a needs assessment survey and conducted a focus group discussion to identify knowledge gaps and inform creation of a curriculum for pediatric body MRI.
Increasing volume and complexity of cases in academic radiology and the drive toward pediatric sub-specialization have threatened knowledge assimilation for radiologists. There is a clear need for a system that retrieves vetted information from the excess available on the internet. Partnered with an interdisciplinary team from the Graduate School of Education, the authors created the first comprehensive learning management system (LMS) for radiology, implemented in the reading room to augment image interpretation and point-of-care education.

Methods: Retrospective 10-year review of all neonatal CEs including imaging findings, clinical information, indication, and final diagnosis from discharge summaries, surgical reports, and pathology (reference standard). Two blinded pediatric radiologists reinterpreted 366 CEs for obstruction, microcolon, rectosigmoid index (RSI), serrations, meconium, ileal cut-off, transition zone, diagnosis, and level of confidence.
