Radiolopolis - the international radiology network and community

Yes, you heard right: the first Radiology Olympics just opened!

Because of the plentitude of excellent cases we are receiving every day we had the idea to create an international educational contest a la "Olympic games". 

With the Radiology Olympics we intend to honor our "movers and shakers" in Radiology . Our first disciplines show our most diligent case contributors - categorized by Radiology section, time frame (month, year, all times).

New Radiologic Pathology Course Continues Resident Training After AFIP Closure  

The American College of Radiology (ACR) has launched the American Institute for Radiologic Pathology (AIRP), which will provide a four-week Radiologic-Pathology Correlation Course, given five times per year, beginning in January 2011. 

Radiolopolis went another step towards becoming an "all-around-Radiology" community.
We opened in May a new career section for job seekers and recruiters/employers. (Link to the career center)

This section is completely free to use for job seekers.
We are in collaboration with multiple employers and job recruiters from all around the world - offering one of the largest Radiology job databases worldwide - and fully targeted to Radiology professionals!

Currently, we are offering over 50,000 Radiology jobs from the US and all over the world!

And another educational feature has been added on Radiolopolis: JRCR MCQs!

In collaboration with the Journal of Radiology Case Reports (JRCR), we provide from today on daily multiple choice questions based on the published articles in the JRCR. We incorporated these interactive questions into our daily activity stream where you can find them under "Educational Corner: Test yourself". (see screenshot).

One more reason to see Radiolopolis as your educational "home" page...

• The RRC for Diagnostic Radiology requires three months of breast imaging. The latest RRC regulations state "There must be a minimum of 12 weeks of clinical rotations in breast imaging. Each resident should have documentation of the interpretation/multireading of at least 240 mammograms within a six-month period within the last two years of the residency program." 

The RRC regulations are posted on the ACGME website as "Effective September 1, 2008." Because MQSA governs x-ray mammography experience, it is expected that all breast imaging rotations will include mammography.

We can proudly announce that from Mai 2010 on Radiolopolis has been officially declared a site for trustworthy information that complies with the HON standard!

This site complies with the HONcode standard for trustworthy health information: verify here.

And another feature has been added to Radiolopolis: Display cases by diagnosis.

This new feature allows you to browse through our entire case gallery by alphabet.

1. Just go to the "Case gallery" and click on the link"Review all diagnoses" (red arrow).

Radiolopolis in the News!

An entire article about social networking in the medical profession has been published in the news of the American College of Radiology (ACR) - and Radiolopolis did not come too short!

You may read the complete article here - page 20, title "What Happens Online, Stays Online".

For a good reason we make the registration process somewhat harder than other sites - it's worth it to be known as one of the safest professional social networking sites on the planet! Because trust is the foundation for a good collaboration!

Wow! What an exciting time we are going through!

We just took a quick look on our registration numbers and noticed that since December 2009 we increased our membership numbers by 66 percent! (Within only 3 months!!!) At the end of the RSNA meeting Radiolopolis had "only" 1800 members. With each day we notice an increasing rate of new registrations and to date we welcome 2730 members to our "family". Isn't this amazing!?

To a great extend we relate this high popularity to the extensive interactivity between our members, the protected and "professional" environment and the unique educational value of dozens of our integrated affiliate programs. - Because collaboration is the key to success!
