All right. Welcome to episode 610 of the Divine Intervention Podcasts.

In today's podcast, we're going to be addressing a very high-yield topic that I title,

Imaging and the USMLEs. Imaging and the USMALEs.

The goal of this podcast is to provide a range of scenarios for specific things you may see on your exams.

I've gotten a lot of questions from people on this, and I've decided to make a podcast on it.

And honestly, this is very likely going to be a series.

And this is one of those things that are kind of difficult to prepare for.

In fact, these are my best efforts to expose you to different things and is like,

hmm, okay, where would I make this decision on the US Emily exams? So this is one of those things

that you either know or you don't know. There's not much in the way of testing principles that can

get you to this. So let's get right into it. So what if they give you a question about a lady that is, you know, 42 years old and she comes for her primary care visit?

And you're told, oh, which of the following screening modalities, right, or screening procedures is recommended for this patient?

I would really hope you're saying that, oh, this is going to be a mammogram, right?

So remember, mammography on the USMLA exams

is going to be done for women that are over the age of 40.

You're going to do it roughly every year or two

as a means of screening for breast cancer.

Now, the USMLEs, they're not stupid.

So sometimes, instead of calling it mammography

on the exams, they may call it breast radiography. They may literally call it breast radiography,

right? Or they may call it x-ray imaging of the breast. Just remember, literally mammography

is taking an x-ray of the breast. That's literally what it is, right?
