Radiologists in the UK who wish to subspecialise in oncologic imaging (cancer imaging) have to complete the Fellowship of the Royal College of Radiologists (FRCR) long examination. This is a written and oral examination, and the pass rate is approximately 50%. Once radiologists have completed the FRCR long examination, they are then eligible to apply for a Consultant post in oncologic imaging. There are currently three oncologic imaging training centres in the UK, and these are based in London, Leeds and Glasgow. The oncologic imaging training programme lasts for four years, and radiologists will rotate through a number of different hospitals during this time. Radiologists who have completed their training and wish to work in oncologic imaging will need to have a good understanding of both CT and MRI, as well as PET-CT. They will also need to be able to interpret a variety of images, including biopsies and scans. Oncologic imaging is a rapidly changing field, and radiologists need to keep up to date with the latest advances in order to provide the best possible care for their patients.

Overall, the FRCR Long Cases Services have been very helpful in providing guidance and support for those preparing for the FRCR exams. The services have been well organized and provide a wealth of resources that have been very helpful in preparing for the exams. The services have also been very responsive to questions and concerns, and have been very helpful in providing feedback on exam performance.
