Content types

Radiopaedia comprises three fundamental content types (articles, cases and multiple-choice questions).​

Articles

Articles seek to provide a comprehensive review of topics relevant to the practice of radiology. Every contribution is valuable, and peer-reviewed by our editorial board, so we encourage you to share your knowledge and expertise. Together, we can create an unparalleled resource for the radiology community.  See: Editing Radiopaedia Articles Learning Pathway

Cases

Cases are part of your personal case library. You are encouraged to share your cases with the community where they can be used to illustrate articles or be featured in questions. You can also collate cases into playlists to facilitate self-learning and teaching. See: Creating Cases Learning Pathway

Multiple choice questions

Questions are relatively new to Radiopaedia but we have big plans for them. For now, questions are shown at the bottom of articles and used in our virtual conferences and courses. You can also find them when searching the site. See: Creating Multiple Choice Questions Learning Pathway

Editorial standards

Radiopaedia's peer-review policy and CME program are overseen by the Radiopaedia Educational Board. All contributions to articles, cases and multiple-choice questions are peer-reviewed by our dedicated Editorial board
