What if the most important decision in your patient’s care starts with the right image? We dive into how modern radiology now sits at the centre of medicine, translating complex presentations into clear pathways with faster CT, higher-resolution MRI, and practical algorithms that reduce uncertainty at the bedside and in the clinic.
Join Dr Gavin Nimon (Orthopaedic Surgeon and host of Aussie Med Ed) as he interviews Interventional Radiologist- Dr Adam Koukourou, as they unpack real-world choices that clinicians make every day. When does a chest X-ray suffice and when should you push to CTPA or VQ? How do you balance CT’s breadth against ultrasound’s strengths for gallbladder, renal, and paediatric cases? For MSK problems, we map where X-ray and ultrasound shine and when MRI becomes essential for internal derangement. In trauma, we show why rapid multi-region CT has become a cornerstone once patients are stable, complementing targeted bedside films. We also get hands-on about better request forms, confirming contraindications, reviewing priors, and cutting duplicate orders with digital viewers that let you compare studies across sites in minutes.
If you care about getting the right test first, improving time-to-diagnosis, and working smarter with your radiology colleagues, you’ll find practical steps you can use today.
