79. Readful! Fibrous dysplasia with Andrew Dixon Jul 2, 2026 2771 Frank returns the favour and reads Andrew a Radiopaedia article, choosing fibrous dysplasia from the new Study Guide list of key radiology articles. They discuss the classic “long lesion in a long bone” and why confident diagnosis matters to avoid unnecessary workup. Plus: horror movies, Backrooms, Gout Gout, mnemonic consonants and the return of a Gaillard goat! Fibrous dysplasia ► https://radiop
78. Neuroradiology double-readful! Jun 5, 2026 3775 Frank is back from his US academic tour and arrives underprepared, so Andrew reads him two neuroradiology articles like nerdy bedtime stories. The readfuls cover Hirayama disease and Anterior temporal lobe perivascular spaces — two imaging entities that can catch you out if you are not careful. Plus, travel chat, ordinal suffixes, shooting guns with Rusty, and listeners track down the sci-fi book
77. Readful! Ballistics for radiologists May 5, 2026 4352 Andrew is joined by Associate Professor Craig Hacking to learn about the fundamentals of ballistics and the intersection with radiology, pathology and forensics.

75. Radiology and radiation protection in space Mar 3, 2026 3219 Craig Hacking chats with Wui K Chong and Tim Squire about imaging in space and radiation protection during spaceflights. Should we spin the patient like an ice-dancer rather than the gantry? If you freeze ice blocks in zero G would they be more or less clear than on earth? Should Frank resign over a computer mouse incident? All the big questions answered, plus Factorio and Project Hail Mary.    Ra

Andrew's sci-fi narrative thing Sep 23, 2025 896 As promised, we’re dropping this in the feed for posterity. Andrew wrote it with a handy assist from AI for the Radiopaedia 2025 virtual conference. It was designed to align with the daily subspecialty and visual themes of the event. Many people enjoyed it (some probably didn’t) but here it is for you all in audiobook form, read by the wonderful Alex Furness. Let us know what you think: podcast@ra
