PRACTICE PERSPECTIVES Board Certification Characteristics of Practicing Neuroradiologists A.B. Rosenkrantz, G.N. Nicola, J.A. Hirsch, and R. Duszak Jr. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Insight into the status of neuroradiology subspecialty certification across the United States could help to understand neuroradiologists' perceived value of subspecialty certification as well as guide efforts to optimize pathways for broader voluntary certification participation. Our aim was to assess board certification characteristics of practicing US neuroradiologists. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The American Board of Radiology public search engine was used to link Medicare-participating radiol- ogists with American Board of Radiology diplomates. Among linked diplomates, 4670 neuroradiologists were identified on the basis of 3 criteria: current or prior neuroradiology subspecialty certification or currently .50% clinical work effort in neuroradiology based on work relative value unit–weighted national Medicare claims (“majority-practice neuroradiologists”). Subspecialty certification status was studied in each group, using Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services data to identify additional physician characteristics. RESULTS: Of 3769 included radiologists ever subspecialty certified, 84.1% are currently subspecialty certified. Of 1777/3769 radiolog- ists ever subspecialty-certified and with lifetime primary certificates (ie, nonmandated Maintenance of Certification), only 66.6% are currently subspecialty certified. Of 3341 included majority-practice neuroradiologists, 73.0% were ever subspecialty certified; of these,
