Operation Zombie was an editorial project that ran from late 2019 to mid-2020. It was aimed at fixing as many "dead" links as possible. Over 2500 users tried to access content on Radiopaedia that simply was not available and we wanted to fix it.
Around 117 new articles were created. The top missing articles created include:
- diffuse ground-glass opacification
- focal ground-glass opacification
- acute bronchitis
- hip (lateral view)
- crossover sign (femoroacetabular impingement)
- tendon sheath fibroma
and there was some surprising basic content missing. For example:
- bacterial pneumonia
- pulmonary interstitial oedema
- lumbar spine fracture
- thoracic spine fracture
- thyroid nodule
An additional 79 dead links redirected to existing articles or removed (e.g. incorrect terminology, incorrect linking URL).
