Abdominal imaging literature, synthesized

The abdominal imaging literature, read for you.

The paper, synthesis, or guideline worth your time, written up so you do not have to chase it across journals. No one synthesizes the literature by organ and decision point. I think that is the gap worth filling.

About

Built by a radiologist, for radiologists.

I read body imaging, I teach, and I build the tools I wish I had at the workstation. I make all of this on my own.

RadBrief started as a way to keep up without reading twenty papers a week. RadReason came out of the same frustration, but from the other side of the read. I wanted a second opinion while I was still looking at the case, not after I signed it. So I built one.

The two fit together. RadBrief is where I teach in the open. RadReason is the tool I use during my own reads. The teaching here stands on its own. But if it's useful to you, the tool might be too.

Rradreason
The product behind it

Real-time radiology reasoning, during the read.

An attending that thinks with you, live.

You dictate findings while you read, and it surfaces structured differentials in real time. It works during the read, not after. It never makes the diagnosis for you.

Part of Modvium

Where this work lives.

RadBrief is one part of Modvium. Modvium is where I keep the tools and the teaching, all aimed at making reasoning clearer. RadReason is there. So are plain guides on building with AI. No hype, one tool at a time.
