This is a radiology deck for the ABR Diagnostic Radiology Core Exam.
This deck comprehensively covers the chapters of Core Radiology 2nd edition with additional images and some cards to supplement the content.
This deck is a living resource being modified by the community with moderation. Please feel free to contribute but know that each suggestion has to be viewed by a moderator which is time consuming. We appreciate if you read the guidelines prior to submitting suggestions.
Current running projects
- Continue to add images to cards which describe image findings but have no correlating image
- Continue to spell check, quality check, fact check each card
- Continue to properly quality check titles and tags of each card
- Build a physics deck (currently no physics deck)
- Anatomy section (occlusion cards only)
#How to use:
The deck is organized into subdecks by chapters. Each card will ultimately be given hierarchical tags with the following format: #Ankore::Textbooks::Core_Radiology::####.
Read a page and unsuspend the relevant cards, and you should be good to go!
#Updates:
Media (updated 5/18/2024):
Link for Ankihub Addon Import (Menu Bar > AnkiHub > Import media)
Link for .zip file (manual addition to your installation’s collection.media folder)
Guidelines for card suggestions:
General principles (card structure, information, card types, how to use the deck)
- Card information should primarily come from Core radiology 2nd edition. Ideally word for word although exceptions can be made if wording does not make a good flash card.
- The type card types are Cloze and IO enhanced, titled Cloze-AnKingRads (AnKore for ABR Diagnostic Radiology Core Exam) and Image Occlusion Enhanced-(AnKore for ABR Diagnostic Radiology Core Exam) respectively
- There are 12 fields on each card.
- We suggest reading the corresponding Core page with each card to help constantly check the accuracy of the deck.
- We suggest reading a page then unsuspending the corresponding cards to that page rather than attacking the entire chapter or even deck at once.
- We suggest adding images to cards which describe image findings but do not have a correlating image (briefly cite your source such as rIDs from radiopaedia).
- Always feel free to update a card if the content does not align with current guidelines (Core 2nd edition was published in 2021 and is not a living document).
New cards / making cards
- New cards should be made primarily for missing information from core or when splitting a long card into two cards. Other reasons include changing a card type (cloze that would be better as an IO).
- When making a new card, the fields that MUST be filled in at minimum are 1. Text, 2. Core Radiology, 3. Section Title, and 4. Tags as follows: The Core Radiology section should have the full referenced page from Core (see making images from PDF below). The section title should be “main chapter - subchapter (grey header from core).” The tags should include a four digit page number (#Ankore::Textbooks::Core_Radiology::####), subchapter (example: AnkiHub_Subdeck::AnKore_for_ABR_Diagnostic_Radiology_Core_Exam::Core_Radiology::02_Gastrointestinal_Imaging::06_Esophagus), and edition which will be second for now (#Core_Radiology_2E).
- Clozes should only contain one or two words
- When suggesting image occlusion (IO) cards, the card will default back to basic IO cards. Before pushing suggestion, you will need to change card/note type back to Image Occlusion Enhanced-(AnKore for ABR Diagnostic Radiology Core Exam).
- If there is a large amount of content missing (a whole page or more), message one of the moderators to notify them before working on the cards in case we are already working on them.
- Cite your sources
- Try to avoid or minimize the use of numbered lists unless the numbering itself represents some relationship between items, such as a sequential process. Bullet points can be used instead.
- Adding in arrows to cards is a reasonable way to streamline review and facilitate correlating text with images’ findings of interest. You may have noticed new text with the “Color →” format (see “Card Style Housekeeping” update for full details on using HTML)
Deleting cards
- If deleting one cloze on a card with multiple clozes, just remove the cloze and delete the empty cards from your version of the deck. Pushing a delete card will default to delete note on the suggestions page which may delete all clozes.
- If a full card should be deleted, add the #Ankore::delete and suggest deleting the note.
Images/sources
- Make sure your anki is defaulted to paste images as PNG (go to tools → preferences → editing → select paste clipboard images as PNG).
- Do not use JPEG as these will be compressed by ankihub.
- Ankihub has been changing image types to webp which is out of our control.
- When pasting images from PDF ensure they are high resolution. Our suggested method is to use PDF XChange Editor. In XChange you can edit your snapshot options to have a high resolution, ideally 400-600.
- Pasting images has caused some images to be lost on ankihub and it is preferred to save the image first then insert it from your files. However, images uploaded with this method have also been lost in the past.
- Images should remain high resolution, do not suggest cropping images to fit your device screen.
Text formatting
If you want to format text, here are some style suggestions:
- Use bold for nouns and medical terms.
- Use underline or italics to emphasize anything else.
- Avoid capitalizing medical terms unless they are proper nouns or otherwise conventionally capitalized.
- Consider including line breaks between text and images in the same field to separate content (less hunting for the eyes).
Other
- Please suggest adding a tag “DUPLICATE” if you noticed a duplicate in the deck and suspend on your app.
