Radiology Resources
General
- R-ITI Modules - created by the RCR, these modules are generally pretty good across a wide range of topics, though can be a bit slow and unexciting.
- PENRA Courses - you should have an account for this, Ross and a few others are trying to build a large case set covering a wide range of topics.
Exams
Radiology Cafe has a really good section on this, but some local suggestions:
This website is a local godsend
Anatomy:
- e-Anatomy - the academy should provide you with an account for this, good as a resource to refer to.
- Question sets - there are massive banks of example questions floating round. The Radiology Cafe mock exams are a good place to start, but there are lots more generally a bit harder sets on the academy learnmat drive.

On-Call
Practice is key for preparing for on-call - do the on-call case sessions, get reporting IP scans, and cover the phones with support - but to make sure you've covered a good breadth of pathology it is worth looking at a few learning resources. A few suggestions below.
Books:
- On Call Radiology by Gareth Lewis et al. - Covers all the common presentations with a brief summary of what to look for and how to vet - a couple of PDF copies are floating around. Worth aread prior to starting on-call.
Reference Websites (no surprises here):
Case Sets
There are lots of good sets of cases on PACS around the region for on-call cases, some particularly good ones include:
- On-call cases (JLOOKER) - found on Plymouth PACS : a really good set of on-call cases covering more or less all the common serious presentations.
- Acute Abdominal Imaging (MSTRUGNELL) - on Truro PACS : a massive set of acute abdominal presentations complete with codes showing if the diagnosis was confirmed with pathology/at surgery.
Sub-Speciality
Neuroradiology
- Osbourn's Brain - The gold standard reference text book. Good but massive and expensive.
Videos:
- BSNR Webinars - if there is one thing I'd recommend it is these lectures, really good quality and comprehensive coverage of neuro without being over long.
Head and Neck
- Learn Head and Neck - a website with pages covering head and neck anatomy and case banks covering major on-call presentations. Really good for the basics.
- Diagnostic Imaging: Head and Neck - the gold standard reference textbook for head and neck. Good, but massive and expensive.
- H&N Pocket Guides - A collection of posters covering a bunch of major head and neck pathology.
