Welcome to RadNotes
A newsletter for medical students, physicians and anyone with an interest in radiology and medical imaging
Greetings! I am a professor of radiology at New York University Medical School and an emergency radiologist at Bellevue Medical Center, New York City’s primary public hospital, and the oldest hospital in America. I also volunteer as the primary radiologist for FAME medical center, a rural hospital in Karatu, Tanzania.
This newsletter will be image-based, and designed to educate (and sometimes entertain) medical students, radiology residents, physicians, surgeons, and anyone with an interest in how one examines the human body using x-rays, magnetic fields, ultrasound and other techniques.
Over time, I will present discussions of medical and surgical conditions, for which imaging plays an important role, unknown cases, and approaches to learning radiology.
For anyone interested, and for those who would rather not wait until I have posted the first few hundred topics, I have written a textbook, available on Apple Books and Amazon, entitled Emergency Imaging - A practical approach.
This Substack, and Emergency Imaging, could not have been realized without the heroic effort and assistance of my friend and colleague Trudi Singleton Cloyd, MD, Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, who contributed research and writing to this project when she was a medical student at New York University.
