Second Take: A modest proposal to solve the recalls conundrum
When the controversy over radiology board recalls erupted in January 2012, it created a public relations headache for radiology that continues to reverberate. In our inaugural Second Take column, Dr. Jason Itri, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh, takes the position that board recalls are a necessary and even appropriate tool for studying for the board exams.

Ischemia in the circumflex territory. F-18 flurpiridaz PET showed a perfusion defect in the lateral wall during pharmacological stress, which improved in rest. Myocardial blood flow (MBF) quantification showed decreased MBFstress (1.4 mL/min/g) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) (2.2) in the circumflex (Cx) territory, with adequate flow in the left anterior descending and right coronary artery territories, MBFstress 2.6 and 2.2 mL/min/g, and MFR 3.4 and 3.1, respectively. Coronary angiography showed a 70%-99% stenosis in the Cx artery, for which percutaneous coronary intervention was performed with good result and good clinical outcome.
