Must See Radiology is an academic project developed by a resident, for residents beginning independent call.


I started this project because I found that most radiology resources available today rely on a single static image.  The key finding is often highlighted, circled and has an arrow pointing towards it.  The pathology is easily identified and the learning point is made. 


However, when starting independent call, residents don’t have the luxury of pathology that comes highlighted and circled. It may be hidden and sometimes overlooked due to the stresses of working independently in the emergency setting. 


The main goal of the project is to create an interactive resource that simulates viewing of cross sectional studies at a PACS workstation, without giving away the answer too easily.   This approach helps residents develop a search pattern and look for abnormal findings in places that may have been neglected in their current search pattern.


The focus of cases will be based on the most critical radiology diagnoses that can affect patient care during the night of presentation.  Ideally, I will include multiple cases for each diagnosis, representing classic, subtle and severe findings.



Check back often, cases will be added as time allows.  I am currently studying for the ABR exam in October ’13.  Updates may be slow until that is over.
