If you want residents to moan, start out the conversation with “when I was a resident….” Well, when I was a resident, computed tomography (CT) scans had just been introduced into the hospital, ultrasound was a rarely used procedure, and magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography were still in the future. We did tomograms, pyelograms, veno grams, and various scans of the spleen, liver, and brain. The imaging options available today are overwhelming. Three-dimensional reproductions of any part of the body; bedside ultrasounds of the brain, heart, abdomen, and pelvis; and scans that show function as well as structure—an amazing array of innovative technology giving the clinician a whole new perspective on imaging.
