Below is our radiology showcase that can be found on Radiopaedia.org - an amazing website for free and open-access radiology images.
Such images are displayed on QuickMedic as 'free-content' to enable medical students to learn from high-fidelity radiographs that are available as part of #FOAMed, and are creative commons content. Radiopaedia provides such a phenomenal service to everyone in the medical community, it is only right to continue to use their images, with attribution in a way that is free and open access.
I have simply selected a number of X-rays that can and do come up in final exams. Get good at radiology - you'll need it.

- You need to be able to accurately interpret and discuss basic radiological images.

- Use the ABCDE approach mentioned in the video below to describe all chest X-rays.
- Go through them ALL and then click on the rID case number below each X-ray to see the diagnosis
- I have added hints below some of the images to help you - try not to look at these if possible
