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. Plus: horror movies, Backrooms, Gout Gout, mnemonic consonants and the return of a Gaillard goat!

78. Neuroradiology double-readful!
Jun 5, 2026
Jun 5, 2026
1 hr 2 min
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.

Craig Hacking chats with Wui K Chong and Tim Squire about imaging in space and radiation protection during spaceflights. Should we spin the patient like an ice-dancer rather than the gantry? If you freeze ice blocks in zero G would they be more or less clear than on earth? Should Frank resign over a computer mouse incident? All the big questions answered, plus Factorio and Project Hail Mary.
