PURPOSE/AIM

1. Radiology online resources are ubiquitous and include teaching files, case collections, lectures, training modules, journals with online content, and more recently podcasts. 2. It is time consuming for trainees and practitioners to know which online resources have trustworthy information, and to organize them for learning and quick reference. 3. We present an application to access these resources on smartphones and portable devices.

CONTENT ORGANIZATION

1. 348 free radiology online resources have been organized into the following categories: radiologic anatomy, radiology physics, radiology teaching file collections, open access lectures, MSK radiology, nuclear medicine, neuroradiology, breast imaging, chest imaging, cardiac imaging, gastrointestinal and genitourinary radiology, pediatric radiology, ultrasound, emergency imaging, miscellaneous, radiology journals, radiology societies, medical education, radiology freeware, and productivity tools.  2. To the best of our knowledge a mobile application to organize radiology education online content allowing trainees to supplement their learning has not been developed.

SUMMARY

1. Our application is accessible from any smartphone or portable device such as iphone, ipad, android platform among others, providing a valuable tool for organized access to the high-quality online radiology resources.
