2If your Diagnostic Radiology Certification is time-limited, your MOC governing cycle dates are based on that certificate. If your Diagnostic Radiology Certification is valid for your lifetime, your MOC governing cycle dates are based on the earliest time-limited subspecialty certification that you received or the year that you enrolled in MOC.

Note:
CME credits and SAMs need not be done in the precise year specified in the table, however, a maximum of 50 CME and 4 SAMs may be applied toward your MOC requirements yearly.
PQI: Projects may be done as part of a practice group, department, institution, or society as well as by an individual. If you are participating in a project that is not individual, it is required that you evaluate your own personal data as a part of your PQI participation.
Outliers in terms of participation may be contacted to produce documentation of participation.
Diplomates may change project topic if data analysis shows that time may be better spent in improving another area.
