The CBR, due to an agreement signed with the AMB, has the legally guaranteed prerogative, eventually in conjunction with other associations, to confer the following specialist titles and certificates in the area of expertise:
Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging
General Ultrasound
Ultrasonography in Gynecology and Obstetrics
Mammography
Vascular ultrasound with Doppler
bone densitometry
diagnostic neuroradiology
therapeutic neuroradiology
Interventional Radiology and Angioradiology
Thus, only the CBR has the legitimacy to grant and issue the specialist titles or certificates in the area of expertise mentioned above, according to the rules of the Brazilian Medical Association.
Furthermore, according to Article 115 of the Code of Medical Ethics, physicians are prohibited from “announcing scientific titles that they cannot prove and a specialty or area of expertise for which they are not qualified and registered with the Regional Council of Medicine.”.
