Board Blitz: High-Yield Sprint
The final-weeks review track, patterns, thresholds, reporting frameworks, and the trials, then drill in Study mode
How to run the sprint
In the final weeks, breadth beats depth. Turn on the High-yield toggle (top of the navigation) so every page collapses to its key points, work through the pattern and framework pages below, then spend most of your time in Study mode — draw sets, self-score, and re-drill your misses. Study mode now labels each question with its topic, and can filter by domain or drill only your missed questions.
Pattern recognition — the "what is this?" pages
The exam loves a pattern. Know these cold.
- Superscan · Photopenic (Cold) Lesions · Flare Phenomenon
- Physiologic FDG Uptake & Benign Mimics · Attenuation & Misregistration Artifacts
- Discordant PSMA / FDG Disease · Incidental Findings on FDG-PET/CT
Which test when — modality/tracer selection
High-yield decision logic, tested constantly.
- PE Imaging — Which Test When · Bone Metastasis Imaging · Dementia & Movement-Disorder Imaging
- Neuroendocrine Tumor Imaging · Parathyroid Imaging · Prostate Cancer Imaging · Cardiac Viability Imaging · Infection Imaging
Reporting & response frameworks
Scores and criteria that show up as stems.
- Lymphoma Staging — Lugano/Deauville · Oncology Response — RECIST & PERCIST · PSMA-PET Reporting — PROMISE & PSMA-RADS
Numbers & preparation
The values you must have memorized.
- Quantitative Thresholds & Decision Cutoffs · Patient Preparation & Study Confounders
- Effective Dose Reference · Radiation Safety & Patient Release
Landmark trials
Know the design, result, and why it changed practice.
- VISION · TheraP · NETTER-1 / NETTER-2 · ALSYMPCA · proPSMA · PIOPED — full set in the Landmark Trials chapter.
Then: drill
Reading is recognition; Study mode is recall. Draw a mixed set across all domains, self-score honestly, and use "Drill missed" until the misses are gone. Re-take the day before as a confidence pass.
