I started R1 last week on neuro, and I have been feeling so lost (expected to read head CTs, but with no one ever sitting down and showing me how) that I honestly doubted picking this specialty. This video has given me a lot of confidence to read more, and I'm now almost looking forward to work tomorrow. Thank you so much. I will watch this again and again until all the subtleties (e.g., common blind spots) stick. You're the man!

[@joey6117]

I just started my neurosurgery too and I feel lost as well! they literally expect u to know everything in a short time. I hope we both get motivated and do our best. Good luck

[@no-de3lg]

As an R1 radiology resident on my first ever neuro rotation, this was invaluable... At least now I have a systematic way to approach a non CT head... Thank you!

[@evkamartuliakova2833]

Thanks a lot for this tutorial, it's nicely clear to understand even when you've never read head CT before.

[@gymgodzyzzfuark1643]

I am a 5th year medical student, which means I still have 1.5 years until I become a resident, as of now and I was leaning on choosing Radiology as my future specialty. In my country it is the hardest to get matched into and you need to be top few % from thousands to match into it and I was getting discouraged by how hard it is. But this sparked my interest once again and made me realise that this is what I want to do.
Thank you so much!
