  		Figure 4.  Chart illustrates survey participants’ response to the question, "How important is it to you that CME credits be available for content you view online?" The question was designed to help determine whether the availability of CME credit was a driving force in guiding radiologists to a Web-based resource.

  		Figure 6.  Graph illustrates respondents’ answer to the question, "Which is the most effective method of CME?" Numbers indicate the actual number of respondents for each category (more than one answer was given by some respondents). Traditional methods for CME (course run by institution, journal articles [hard copy], large medical conference) are perceived by most radiologists as the most effective educational vehicles.

  		Figure 7.  Graph illustrates respondents’ answer to the question, "Which do you feel is the most efficient method of CME?" Numbers indicate the actual number of respondents for each category (more than one answer was given by some respondents). Compared with the number of radiologists who selected journal Web sites as the most effective method of CME (cf Fig 6), a larger number of radiologists perceived journal Web sites as being among the most efficient methods.
