What is this Deck?

A large, comprehensive radiology deck using Core Radiology, Radiopaedia articles, and various online resources. Contains the Core Page and Radiopaedia article on each card within clickable buttons. I made every effort to find high quality, annotated images for every card (if applicable). This is still a work in progress. Once, the deck is complete, I will go through each card to make the formatting more homogeneous.

Who is this deck for?

Radiology residents. Literally no one else needs this much detail. The goal of the deck is to both prepare radiology residents both for Core and their future subspecialty.

Why are there so many cards?

Yes, there are a lot of cards (>18,000), but radiology is a broad field. Consider this the Anking/Zanki version but for radiology. If you start Day 1 in radiology, you can finish this deck before Core without issue. The importance is consistency. Doing 50 cards for 3 days, then getting overwhelmed by the reviews, before eventually quitting is not the way to use this deck. Start with 10 per day and ramp up the new cards when you build the habit of consistent review. The Review Heatmap addon is a great way to provide some incentive to keep up with your reviews and new cards.

What do the cards look like?

In what order should I do New cards, Interday cards, and Reviews?

I used to think reviews before interday before new cards. I have since changed my perspective on this slightly. I now do new cards before interday before reviews. The rationale in my mind is:

  1. I want to make sure I stay on track to finish the deck before boards (i.e., new cards first).

  2. I want to make sure the cards I just reviewed yesterday for the first time get reviewed so I can retain the knowledge (i.e., interday cards second).

  3. I want to do my old reviews last since, it doesn’t matter necessarily if I review that card today or tomorrow since I haven’t seen it for 3 months anyway (i.e., reviews last).

Personal Notes Field

This field is self-explanatory, but is for you to add your own notes. Whether it’s a mnemonic you came up with or a fact you like to remind yourself of when you review the content of the card, this field will allow you to make notes without losing them when you update.

Additional Decks

This deck includes an anatomy deck by u/DarkMistasd. It also includes some sections from the AnKore deck. I have tagged any of these cards in the contributors tag section.

Missing Radiopaedia Articles

In an effort to prevent users from clicking on links to missing articles, I set the CSS code to gray out these links and display a prompt (shown below). These links can still be clicked on to go to the missing article (which may have been made since this deck was created).

AI Generated Audio Files

Using HyperTTS, I have created high quality audio files that read the front of the card. This method is less ideal than real-time TTS, but the quality of voices available across devices varies, so this is present in an effort to provide high quality text-to-speech that requires no specific device. It does, however, increase the size of the memory required for the deck. If you want, you can delete this field. If you want to keep the audio but don’t want the audio to play, either mute your device or remove the following text from the card template.

Attestation

By subscribing to this deck and downloading the media you agree and attest you own a copy of Core Radiology.

How can I access these anki cards?

The deck is not yet public. I will make it public once it is complete. Hopefully in about 2 months. I’m at 90% done with Core.

Please share these cards; they will be helpful for medical students.

The deck is now public.

I don’t know if I’m dumb but I can’t see any links to get the deck??

Not dumb! I updated the wiki. Here is the link: Sign In

Downloaded the deck from ankihub but it has missing media on some cards in both the extra and core radiology fields. Any idea how to fix this? Is there a separate media file to download?

I have a few ideas on why that might be happening. First, it may just need time to download the media files. Or it may be that if you downloaded it to one device and then synced it to Ankiweb, that your other devices may just need time to download the media from Ankiweb.

I wish there was a way for me to test what it looks like on the user end.

Thought it might be that too but looks like the media sync was complete and doesn’t show anything still downloading. Tried unsubscribing then re downloading the deck again and that didn’t work.

Would it be possible to post a mega link to the deck’s media file so I can try importing it through ankihub add on?

@drradiology I believe someone marked one of your replies as a solution (or you might’ve, I’m not sure), this will close the Wiki after 7 days, so I unchecked it so it doesn’t lock this thread. Hope that’s okay!

If i’m downloading the Mega Link to upload the deck, I wont be able to use Ankihub for updates right?

Edit: working now after installing from the mega link

The Mega Link is better to get all the media in one batch. Then, I think you should be able to delete the deck (but not the media) and then subscribe to the deck?

Are you able to sync deck after downloading MEGA? Every time I try to sync it asks if I want to install new deck?

Im able to get the deck

Are you able to sync deck after importing media? Every time I try to sync it asks if I want to install new deck?

The simplest solution is going to be to just subscribe to the deck and let it download. It will take awhile, but that is the easiest way to do it. I made a Mega link for those who want the deck, but don’t want to have to subscribe to AnkiHub (though this means they won’t get content updates and additions). But seeing as you have AnkiHub, I would just let it download to your profile.

I apologize for bothering you, but these are the errors i’m getting with the error details as below when trying to initially sync the deck. Any recommendations?
