Welcome to the American Board of Radiology Foundation

THE MISSION of the ABRF is to demonstrate, enhance and continuously improve accountability to the public in the use of medical imaging and radiation therapy.

The American Board of Radiology Foundation (ABRF) announces the launch of 10 web-based instructional modules: Online Modules on Ethics and Professionalism. The modules were developed with the support of six organizations: the American Association for Physicists in Medicine (AAPM), the American Board of Radiology (ABR), the American College of Radiology (ACR), the American Radium Society (ARS), the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), and the Radiological Society of North American (RSNA).

Convener and Catalyst

The Foundation's long-term vision is to tackle issues related to uses of medical imaging and radiation therapy to benefit the public by being a convener and catalyst, as well as a knowledge resource.

Additionally, the ABRF supports the scientific, scholarly and educational goals of the American Board of Radiology.

It fosters research to improve the education, training and assessment of physician and physicist candidates for certification in diagnostic radiology, radiation oncology and radiologic physics; and the discovery, development and improvement of methods to evaluate the cognitive, scientific, clinical and professional qualifications of diplomates.

The Foundation conducts projects to inform the medical profession and the public about certification, sub-specialty certification and maintenance of certification, and about the roles of these processes in improving the quality and safety of healthcare in the radiological sciences.
