Basic Neuroradiology – Introduction

This lecture covers some key concepts for beginner radiologists, particularly medical students and junior residents. Some are specific to neuroradiology while others apply across the field. This is designed as a first introduction to radiology, with some correlation to neuroradiology cases.

The level of this lecture is appropriate for medical students, junior residents, and trainees in other specialties who have an interest in basic concepts of neuroradiology.

 

Basic Spine – Chapter 5 – Case Review

This is the final chapter in a review of basic spine imaging. This chapter reviews some of the key concepts using a few unknown cases.

The level of this lecture is appropriate for medical students, junior residents, and trainees in other specialties who have an interest in spine imaging or may see patients with spine disease.

Basic Spine – Chapter 4 – Non-Degenerative disease

This is the fourth chapter in a review of basic spine imaging. This chapter covers non-degenerative disease, such as tumors, inflammatory disease, and other spine abnormalities. This chapter uses a location based approach to narrow differential diagnoses based on whether abnormalities are intramedullary, extramedullary but intradural, and extradural.

The level of this lecture is appropriate for medical students, junior residents, and trainees in other specialties who have an interest in spine imaging or may see patients with spine disease.

Basic Spine – Chapter 3 – Degenerative disease

This is the third chapter in a review of basic spine imaging. This chapter covers the range of spine degenerative disease, including terminology, grading of stenosis, and other concepts.

The level of this lecture is appropriate for medical students, junior residents, and trainees in other specialties who have an interest in spine imaging or may see patients with spine disease.

Basic Spine – Chapter 2 – Principles and Terminology

This is the second chapter in a review of basic spine imaging. This chapter covers general principles of spine imaging as well as terminology which is frequently encountered in spine imaging.

The level of this lecture is appropriate for medical students, junior residents, and trainees in other specialties who have an interest in spine imaging or may see patients with spine disease.

Basic Spine – Chapter 1 – Introduction and Anatomy

This is the introduction chapter to a review of basic spine imaging. This chapter covers anatomy and other basic concepts.

The level of this lecture is appropriate for medical students, junior residents, and trainees in other specialties who have an interest in spine imaging or may see patients with spine disease.

Basic Spine – Introductory lecture

This lecture covers some key concepts for beginner radiologists when interpreting studies of the spine.

The level of this lecture is appropriate for medical students, junior residents, and trainees in other specialties who have an interest in spine imaging or may see patients with spine disease. More senior residents may find some concepts useful as a review and potentially benefit from the cases in chapter 5.

The lecture is divided into chapters as follows:

  • Chapter 1 – Introduction and spine anatomy
  • Chapter 2 – General principles and terminology
  • Chapter 3 – Spine Degenerative disease
  • Chapter 4 – Spine Non-degenerative disease, a location based approach
  • Chapter 5 – Case based review

While designed as one continuous lecture, individual components may be useful for general review.

Basic Neuroradiology

This lecture covers some key concepts for beginner radiologists, particularly medical students and junior residents. Some are specific to neuroradiology while others apply across the field. Key concepts include:

  1. Read a lot of studies, and occasionally a book.
  2. Follow up on your patients.
  3. Get actual history.
  4. Pay attention to your reports.
  5. Follow the clues.
  6. Know and look at “lawyer zones”.
  7. Don’t fall for satisfaction of search.
  8. Look at the edges of the study.
  9. Don’t argue.
  10. It’s possible to harm patients, but doesn’t happen often.

Yes, I already know that they are misnumbered, but I had already recorded this and it wasn’t worth changing. Enjoy!
