Radiology Anatomy? Seriously?

Yes seriously! The number of imaging requests is increasing year-upon-year and let's be honest, radiology is at the centre of patient diagnosis and management. That's why having a sound understanding of radiology anatomy is more important than ever. We want to promote this culture of learning by giving candidates the opportunity to win an international prize.

So How Does The Competition Work?

Think of it like an anatomy 'spotter' exam but with radiological images. In the Roentgen competition, candidates will be asked to either name the structure indicated by the arrow, or a structure related to it. There will be 50 radiological images in total and candidates will be given 60 minutes to attempt the task. The questions will showcase the common radiology modalities you'll encounter in everyday clinical practice e.g. X-Rays, CT, MRI etc.

What's The Prize?

Now we're talking! All candidates who take part will receive a certificate of participation which is a great way of showing commitment to a career in Radiology. The winner will be awarded the coveted title of RadCast Roentgen Champion and will receive a certificate of their achievement and a monetary prize.
