Dr Masis Isikbay is a former chief resident, current neuroradiology fellow, and future neurointerventional radiology fellow at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). He previously received the RSNA Education Project Grant to create an online radiology call preparation curriculum, and recently received the RSNA International Education Scholar Grant to expand this effort.

Graphic shows key components and features of an ideal call preparation resource. This summary can serve as a blueprint for the creation of future resources and has served as inspiration for our own effort to create call-related educational content.

Screenshots of the proposed call platform show user interface for a specific condition (basilar thrombus at CT angiography). (A) Each condition-specific page includes an interactive table of contents that serves as the framework for organizing content. (B) There are annotated still images integrated within the resource; for example, this axial CT angiogram highlights the basilar artery containing a thrombus (yellow arrow) and a portion that opacifies appropriately (white arrow). (C) Each page has an embedded YouTube video playlist that includes a search pattern video and dedicated case review of multiple cases to reinforce key teaching points. (D) Each page also links to an online picture archiving and communication system (PACS) server where fully interactive cases are provided, including all cases reviewed in the video playlist.
