THE CONSTRUCTION of a core curriculum in diagnostic radiology, medical imaging and radiological sciences requires an understanding of the historical context in which the current technological advances of the last two decades are seen in the perspective of traditional radiology. The future trainee in this discipline will require an additional background in physics, engineer ing and computer sciences as well as in-depth clinical kills in the basics of diagnostic imaging. The formula tion of future training programmes must provide appropriate experience in the newer imaging modali ties, such as computed tomography, real time ultra sound, digital radiology, nuclear magnetic resonance and positron emission tomography by building on a broad and complete foundation of core subjects. This communication will discuss a suggested core curriculum from the aspect of the desired results of the prog ramme.
