Leesburg, VA, September 20, 2019–According to an ahead-of-print article published in the December issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), lifetime-certified diagnostic radiologists whose Maintenance of Certification (MOC) was not mandated by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) were far less likely to participate in ABR MOC programs–especially general radiologists and those working in smaller, nonacademic practices in states with lower population densities.

Defining diagnostic radiologists as those whose only ABR certificate is in diagnostic radiology, lead author Andrew B. Rosenkrantz of NYU Langone Medical Center and colleagues cross-referenced Medicare and Medicaid data with ABR’s own public search engine to determine that 11,479 of 20,354 total diagnostic radiologists (56.4%) participated in MOC.

Although diagnostic radiologists with time-limited certificates nearly universally participate in ABR MOC–99.6% (10,058/10,099)–participation rates were only 13.9% (1421/10,225) among the cohort with lifetime ABR certificates.

“Many opinions have been expressed regarding MOC in radiology,” says Rosenkrantz, the 2017 ARRS Leonard Berlin Scholar. “But there is actually very little public data on the matter. Through this work, we hope to bring objective findings to help inform the discussions.”

The rates of nonmandated participation were higher (all p

State-level rates of nonmandated participation varied from 0.0% (South Dakota, Montana) to 32.6% (Virginia) and positively correlated with state population density (r = 0.315).

Founded in 1900, the American Roentgen Ray Society (ARRS) is the first and oldest radiology society in the North America, dedicated to the advancement of medicine through the profession of radiology and its allied sciences. An international forum for progress since the discovery of the x-ray, ARRS maintains its mission of improving health through a community committed to advancing knowledge and skills with an annual scientific meeting, monthly publication of the peer-reviewed American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), quarterly issues of InPractice magazine, topical symposia and AJR Live Webinars, print and online educational materials, as well as awarding scholarships via The Roentgen Fund®.
