We surveyed 100 radiologists, and their top answers are on the board! Andrew pits Frank against the Radiopaedia 2026 co-convenors in a special Family Feud-inspired radiology game show.
Frank returns the favour and reads Andrew a Radiopaedia article, choosing fibrous dysplasia from the new Study Guide list of key radiology articles. They discuss the classic “long lesion in a long bone” and why confident diagnosis matters to avoid unnecessary workup.

Frank is back from his US academic tour and arrives underprepared, so Andrew reads him two neuroradiology articles like nerdy bedtime stories. The readfuls cover Hirayama disease and Anterior temporal lobe perivascular spaces — two imaging entities that can catch you out if you are not careful. Plus, travel chat, ordinal suffixes, shooting guns with Rusty, and listeners track down the sci-fi book Frank was actually thinking of.
