Interventional Radiology - Integrated · ACGME specialty 416 · minimums effective April 1, 2024.
Capnolog counts these live for anesthesiology and neurological surgery; other specialties are reference only.
What counts toward a minimum?
- Residents log each case against its CPT procedure codes, and the ACGME sorts those codes into the categories below.
- Each minimum is read in its own column: “First operator” and “Aggregate (program-entered)”.
- The Review Committee for Radiology sets these requirements.
Where do these numbers come from?
- Case Log categories and minimum numbers, April 2024
- Case Log guidelines, July 2025

Capnolog is independent of the ACGME; where a number here differs from the ACGME's own document, the document is right.
