When might radiology trainees be held liable for malpractice? I review one such case at #Radiopaedia2025 today and discuss another with @shailinthomas in the latest issue of @AcadRadiol doi.org/10.1016/j.acra…
Practicing radiology without tracking your predictions against outcomes is like trying to get better at playing golf without seeing where the balls are landing. -@frankgaillard at #Radiopaedia2025 Day 5
Important from @francisdeng #Radiopaedia2025 re: neurovascular compression of CN VII - from the root exit point to the proximal cisternal segment. Don't forget that the initial segment of CN VII is the 'attached segment' which lies against the pons, all centrally myelinated.
One of the best explanations of hippocampal anatomy I’ve ever heard. Michael Nel- @radiologytuts - masterfully demystifies this complex structure in his Radiopaedia 2025 lecture. If the limbic system ever confused you, this one’s a game-changer. #Radiopaedia2025 #Neuroanatomy…
Helpful pearls from @tmcampion on my catch-up of Day 1 #Radiopaedia2025 regarding suspicious imaging features of intravascular lymphoma. A diagnosis we think about a lot, but diagnose very little of!
Shock-like/stabbing throat, jaw, and/or ear pain on the left CISS-MRA fusion image showing left PICA compressing CN IX root entry zone Classic glossopharyngeal neuralgia! Rounding out #Radiopaedia2025 Day 1 (supraclavicular)
Opioid-induced neurotoxicity has a spectrum of neuroradiologic manifestations. Are you familiar with these? @FrankGaillard at @Radiopaedia Day 1 (supraclavicular radiology)
Similarly, writing a helpful 'reason for exam' for imaging requests is an incredible exercise in communication skills. The precision required to get good results (from the reporting radiologist) is an art. Most junior doctors need to learn how to write a history to radiology.
Prompting is actually an incredible exercise in communication skills. The precision required to get good results then fine tune them is an art. Most junior doctors need to learn prompting

The Radiopaedia 2025 conference is soon, July 21-25. Trainee or specialist, you’re going to learn something (w/ CME credit) I’ll be speaking on neurovascular compression, malpractice, and assorted interactive cases Register radiopaedia.org/courses/radiop… and catch me in the live chat
Congratulations to the 2025 recipients of the ABMS Research and Education Foundation (REF) research grants. REF awarded grants to support research on the process of achieving and maintaining high certification standards. bit.ly/44IM2sK #HigherStandardsBetterCare
