1. Overview
The UCSF Radiology CORE Review 2026 offers an intensive, system-based review designed to reinforce fundamental and advanced concepts across all major radiologic subspecialties. Through a combination of didactic lectures and rapid-fire case sessions, the program covers GI, GU, thoracic, breast, pediatric, neuro, OBGYN, interventional, and musculoskeletal radiology, providing a robust update on diagnostic criteria and patient safety protocols.
Course Date: Monday, April 27, 2026, 7:50 AM – Friday, May 1, 2026, 4:30 PM, Online
This course will review the fundamentals of the major organ systems and corresponding imaging modalities (CT/ MR/ US/ X-rays, mammography, nuclear medicine).
The course will consist of case-based, in-depth sessions on diseases of the major organ systems; as well as shorter focused lectures on physics, rad safety, cardiac, nuclear medicine and interventional procedures that are relevant to the general radiologist and radiologist-in-training.
The course will include a 90-minute session with multiple-choice questions on Non-Interpretive Skills relevant to radiology trainees.
To facilitate learning, all lectures will include rapid-fire cases and/or multiple-choice questions (MCQ), as well as “MCQ Galore” sessions that emphasize basic radiology principles in a fast-paced, question format that will be of clinical value to the radiologist on-call and in-training.
Course Format

Five full-day sessions Monday thru Friday, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Pacific Time (mid-day break).
Major subspecialties/organ systems will be covered in ten half-day sessions (GI, GU, Chest, Breast, Peds, Neuro, US ObGyn, Nuc Med, IR, MSK).
Sessions will include didactic lectures, rapid-fire cases and multiple-choice questions.
Modalities will include CT, MR, US, Breast and NucMed; as well as essentials for Rad Safety and IR.
Non-Interpretive Skills 90-minute review with 100 multiple-choice questions.
50+ UCSF faculty speakers from all radiology subspecialties.

2. Learning Objectives

Identify imaging fundamentals of each of the radiology sub-specialties (organ systems);
Prescribe the appropriate utilization of imaging modalities (CT, MR, US, PET, Mammography) for different medical conditions;
Implement the appropriate imaging protocols for routine clinical presentations;
Recognize indications and markers for interventional procedures, as well as assessment of outcomes;
Apply classifications of pathophysiological mechanisms underlying human disease to facilitate differential diagnosis;
Refine imaging criteria to optimize image quality/findings and improve diagnostic interpretation.

3. Target Audience

Best for radiologists and radiology residents who want an intensive, system-based review of all major diagnostic imaging subspecialties.
