Inspite of all radiological wisdom available to us on internet, we feel there is dearth of platforms focussing on radiologists preparing for examinations - whether post graduate courses or post PG fellow ships. As radiologists who have taken MD and FRCR exams in the past, we can empathise with a budding radiologist who feels a little lost amidst the sea of non exam oriented radiology education. This site aims to provide the training radiologists with the right set of tools which will help them in an exam setting.
