New huge features, Radiographers' week and more...

Finally the ability to create cases by uploading DICOM directly into your browser and new optimised CT/MRI stacks are here! [View this email in your browser]( For months (well, over 12 months actually) we have been taunting you with promises of new case-related features. Well, the time has come to finally say "it is done!" Thanks to the generous support of the Advanced Radiology Services Foundation (Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA) we have been able to rewrite substantial parts of the codebase that handles the creation and display of cases with two specific end-goals in mind: upload DICOMs and smaller file size for larger scrollable stacks. Upload cases from DICOM Having to export images as JPG or PNG form your PACS has been a pain for many users. Now, in addition to uploading the good-ol-fashioned way, you can also simply dump DICOM files directly into new case-upload page and let the magic happen. The images will be unpacked and anonymized client-side (entirely in your app, without sending anything to Radiopaedia or anywhere else). You can then review them (including having a look at all the DICOM header data) and choose which images to upload. Beware: this is a beta feature and remains a little... errr... experimental. We will be improving it over the coming months and we also expect it to get much much faster! Optimized CT and MRI scrollable stacks Over the years the size of CT and MRI cases that are being created has been growing with many cases having stacks with hundreds of images. For many users with slower internet speeds - particularly important in low and middle-income regions - this has meant that these cases were slow or even impossible to load. The new optimized stack format reduces overall file size by 70-80% and reduces the time taken for larger cases to open by even more that than this. Opt-in beta Both are now available as public opt-in beta features for logged in users. That means, if you want to test them out you need to A) log in and B) flick the switch in your profile settings. Once we know everything is humming along, and have made further improvements, we will make these the default for all users. [TRY THE NEW FEATURES]( To help celebrate National Radiographers and Radiation Therapists' Week (NRRTW) in Australia and World Radiography Day, we are featuring Andrew Murphy's [Small (but important) fractures]( lecture from our recent Virtual Conference as our free featured video this week. Andrew is a radiographer at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane and is one of Radiopaedia's managing editors. He holds a master’s degree in Medical Imaging Science specialising in radiographic image interpretation and has a passion for teaching. He works closely with both the Australian Society of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (ASMIRT) and the Canadian Association of Medical Radiation Technologists (CAMRT) to advance the profile of the radiography profession. Featured cases [Dentigerous cyst]( contributed by Craig Hacking. Here is a selection of cases featured on Radiopaedia or our various social media channels. - [Budd-Chiari syndrome]( - [Non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema]( - [Crohn's terminal ileitis and sacroiliitis]( - [Avascular necrosis of the knee]( - [Dentigerous cyst]( - [Liver segments (annotated CT)]( - [Unicameral bone cyst: fallen fragment sign]( - [Arteriovenous malformation]( - [Adamantinoma]( - [Bilateral coracoclavicular joints]( Sponsor message. Sponsors like Philips help Radiopaedia grow. In a society where neurological disorders represent a heavy burden, Philips is committed to providing superb diagnostic clarity and treatment guidance for all patients. Today, although MR is the gold standard in neuro-oncology imaging, its accuracy in tumor grading and treatment follow up assessment can be further improved. Download our Philips study case to learn how physicians at Phoenix Children’s Hospital (PCH) have been studying the value of [Amide Proton Transfer (APT)]( in clinical practice to investigate to what extent APT weighted imaging could be used in the diagnostic and post-therapy imaging of children with brain tumors. [LEARN MORE]( Last month we added three new exclusive lectures to the website and this month we have released a brand new learning pathway by Dr Matt Skalski! NEW! Cervical Spine X-ray Interpretation This learning pathway combines a lecture by MSK radiologist Matt Skalski with additional audio commentary, cases and quizzes by Andrew Dixon. It covers the majority of pathologies you may encounter in the cervical spine with original illustrations used throughout.
