Anki gives you a lot of freedom when it comes to creating your flashcards. It’s a great advantage because you can adjust the flashcards to your material and learning strategy. In this video, we compare the two main card types. By the end, you’ll know how to create basic cards and cloze deletion cards.

At first, Anki may seem discouraging. This video aims to help you ease into using the app, explaining the interface and how to add cards to your library. Even if you don’t consider yourself very tech savvy, you’ll feel comfortable adding Anki to your learning routine.

Some cancer types, such as pancreas adenocarcinoma or renal cell carcinoma, require a multiphasic CT study for staging. This video explains why it's important to review both the late arterial phase and the portal venous phase for some cancers.

How does a radiologist make sure they don't miss anything when reviewing the aorta and its branches on an abdominal CT? In this video, an abdominal CT expert shows his search pattern.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a unique type of cancer in that it can often be diagnosed based on imaging features alone. In this video, you'll learn how to recognize this cancer right away on a multiphasic CT exam.

When evaluating the liver on a CT study, you need to look out for steatosis, cirrhosis, solid masses, cysts, and hemangiomas. You should also check the vasculature—the portal vein and the hepatic veins. In this video, an expert radiologist shares his tips and tricks for liver assessment.

The most obvious difference between a traditional x-ray and a CT study is that a CT study contains multiple images that can be reviewed in three different planes—the coronal, the axial, and the sagittal plane. In this video, an expert radiologist explains when to use each of the planes.

A pulsed wave (PW) Doppler study is an integral part of venous ultrasound. This video explains how to interpret the waveform graph to find out whether a vein contains a clot, where the clot is located and if the patient suffers from venous insufficiency.

Students benefit from a clear step-wise approach to screening for a deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In this video, Elizabeth Tenny, from the Stanford Vascular Lab, focuses on femoral vein imaging and explains where to start the study, what techniques to use, and how to approach anatomical variations.
