Episode 24: Ignore It, Follow It, or Act on It

Radiologists find things all day long: cysts, nodules, masses, calcifications, and incidental findings. But finding an abnormality is only the beginning. The more important question is: What should we do about it?

In this episode of Don’t Miss That Radiology, we look at a simple framework for many of the decisions we make in radiology:

🟢 Ignore it
🟡 Follow it
🔴 Act on it

We’ll look at how systems such as Bosniak, BI-RADS, TI-RADS, O-RADS, and LI-RADS help radiologists stratify risk and guide the next step.

We’ll also discuss an equally important part of radiology: knowing when NOT to do anything. Recognizing a benign finding can prevent unnecessary imaging, biopsies, procedures, anxiety, overdiagnosis, and overtreatment.

Not every finding needs a diagnosis, and not every diagnosis needs treatment.

Sometimes one of the most important things a radiologist can do is confidently say: leave it alone.

In Episode 22 of Don't Miss That Radiology Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Gaston Min, former medical student, current radiology resident, and self-described Anki super user, to discuss how spaced repetition can transform the way you learn radiology.

We explore how Dr. Min built his study system, what makes a great radiology Anki card, how to avoid common mistakes that waste time, and strategies for retaining thousands of imaging findings without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you're a medical student preparing for rotations, an incoming radiology resident, or an established trainee looking to improve retention, this episode is packed with practical tips you can start using immediately.

Topics include:

• Why spaced repetition works
• Creating high-yield radiology Anki cards
• Image-based cards and visual learning
• Building versus downloading decks
• Managing card overload and review fatigue
• Using Anki during medical school and residency
• Long-term retention of imaging findings and anatomy

If you've ever wondered whether Anki is worth the effort or how top learners use it effectively, this episode is for you.

Helping medical students see what others miss.
