The Radiopaedia Reading Room Podcast

Frank returns the favour and reads Andrew a Radiopaedia article, choosing fibrous dysplasia from the new Study Guide list of key radiology articles. They discuss the classic “long lesion in a long bone” and why confident diagnosis matters to avoid unnecessary workup. Plus: horror movies, Backrooms, Gout Gout, mnemonic consonants and the return of a Gaillard goat!

The Reading Room is a radiology podcast intended primarily for radiologists, radiology registrars and residents.

Frank is back from his US academic tour and arrives underprepared, so Andrew reads him two neuroradiology articles like nerdy bedtime stories. The readfuls cover Hirayama disease and Anterior temporal lobe perivascular spaces — two imaging entities that can catch you out if you are not careful. Plus, travel chat, ordinal suffixes, shooting guns with Rusty, and listeners track down the sci-fi book Frank was actually thinking of.

Andrew is joined by Associate Professor Craig Hacking to learn about the fundamentals of ballistics and the intersection with radiology, pathology and forensics. Meanwhile, Frank gets stuck into the Dixon accent, what is a gauge really, shrapnel and the Craigiest-thing ever said!

The Reading Room is a radiology podcast intended primarily for radiologists, radiology registrars and residents.

Craig Hacking chats with Wui K Chong and Tim Squire about imaging in space and radiation protection during spaceflights. Should we spin the patient like an ice-dancer rather than the gantry? If you freeze ice blocks in zero G would they be more or less clear than on earth? Should Frank resign over a computer mouse incident? All the big questions answered, plus Factorio and Project Hail Mary.
