Summarize available electronic resources providing didactic training in the physics of medical imaging for radiology residents. Emphasize benefits of E-learning in conjunction with or as a replacement for traditional classroom based physics curricula. Provide evidence of the benefit of online physics curricula modules as a technique to improve resident education and competence by summarizing existing published evidence of the efficacy of the resources in (1).

Importance of good background in physics Pass Core Exam Understanding of imaging parameters to optimize image quality Understanding of artifacts Manage patient and staff safety Benefits of E-learning Convenience Improved understanding Improved retention of material Pace set by user Discussion of online resources RNSA/AAPM modules Curriculum Examples Strengths / Weaknesses Published proof of efficacy e-MRI from IMAIOS Curriculum Examples Strengths Weaknesses FluoroSafety modules in the safe use of fluoroscopy Curriculum Examples Strengths / Weaknesses Published proof of efficacy Conclusion Available resources Summary of overall benefits of e-learning
