Learning how to read x-rays/CT/MRI was created by doctadb
I just started ortho residency a few months ago and am really struggling with reading imaging. Our program has no real time set aside for formal teaching of MSK radiology. Does anyone have any tips on resources or ways to teach myself?

Getting kinda worried that I won't pick it up in time....

You will look at thousands of xrays over the next five years. You will learn about the different findings as you rotate through your subspecialties and read about those area. You'll pick up most of it. However, I would encourage you to spend some of your free time sitting down with some of the MSK radiologists while they read to get a little more learning in.
