The goal of the STR Resident Curriculum Web Resource is to provide case material to serve as a companion to the STR Curriculum in Chest Radiology for the education of diagnostic radiology residents. Others, from medical students to practicing physicians, may also find this to be an education review of thoracic radiology. Cases will be added on a continuing basis by members of the Society of Thoracic Radiology alone or in collaboration with a resident or fellow.

Sample cases can be found here

	Identify a case that matches a line item on the STR Curriculum in Chest Radiology for Diagnostic Radiology Residency, With Goals and Objectives (Academic Radiology 2000; 7:730-743 or here.
	Email Andi Hunsaker at ahunsaker@partners.org with the topic, to make sure that no one else has already selected it, and wait for a response before preparing the case.

	Select 1 - 6 key images that illustrate the educational point being addressed.
	Images should be submitted as electronic files in JPG format preferably, or as TIFF files.
	Movie files can be submitted as pertinent to the case, as AVI files.

	Objectives: State 1 - 3 succinct objectives in numbered format.
	Questions and Answers: Prepare 3 questions with answers for each case; questions should address the stated objectives and the imaging modalities illustrated. (FYI - The answers will pop up when the user places a cursor over their select answer). Questions should be thought provoking. Answers should be succinct.
	Discussion: Should be prepared in three parts, as below:
	Part 1: What is it? - The entity should be defined in a maximum of 1 or 2 sentences (approximately 35 words).
	Part 2: Etiology – A bulleted outline of 50-80 words.
	Part 3: Radiologic Manifestations - This should be broken down into the findings for each of the relevant imaging modalities to the case (whether presented for this case or not), and listed as a) radiographic, b) CT, c) MRI and d) other (such as angiography or ultrasound). This section should be concise and approximately 100 –175 words or less.
	Practical Information: Prepare an easy to understand, concise summary of the important elements of the case. This is not meant to be an exhaustive literature review; it should focus on the key elements of the case. This section should be limited to 100 words, and should include:
	a) How certain one can be of the diagnosis in such a case (specificity)
	b) Cover the relevant differential diagnosis, and
	c) Indicate how this case can be distinguished from cases in the differential diagnosis.
	References: Please include 3 - 5 literature references for each case.
