Huda updates his study guide for the American Board of Radiology and American Registry of Radiologic Technologists certification examinations. He remains focused on imaging using X-rays--projection radiography, fluoroscopy, and computed tomography--as well as nuclear medicine, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance, he says, but following changes in the examination, his emphasis has shifted toward clinically relevant radiologic physics, which relates to information that radiologists and radiologic technologists need to know to perform their clinical duties.
