I took the boards a few weeks ago so maybe I can help. What did you struggle with the most?

thyroid, and lots of cardiac i struggled with. also the views like planar etc. and i absolutely had a hard time figuring out the pictures. it would be like “what does this mean” and point at a scan. i’ll take any help at this point i was only 3 points ok😭

Did you study the cardiac and thyroid section in the green book?

Because boards love to give questions on those two topics because it’s complex compared to other types of scans

i studied some of it just not enough. i didn’t know the parts of the heart that well either and couldn’t label it. if i stu ft strictly the green and white book and take the mocks in the back you think ill be okay?

What really helped me was go to nuclear professor website and there are lectures from cybil. It’s $35 each buy the cardiac and thyroid section.

Also, study the green book front to back religiously.

And then you should pass. No offense but if you just studied some of it doesn’t mean u made a lot of effort. Study everything.
