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.

We start with a quick review of the key anatomy from Part 1, then take it a step further with some anatomy you can actually use on your next rotation.

In this episode:

• Peripancreatic anatomy — a great ultrasound-to-CT correlation that makes identifying the pancreas and surrounding vessels much easier
• Malrotation — how understanding the relationship of the SMA, SMV, and bowel can help you recognize this important diagnosis
• Morrison’s pouch (hepatorenal recess) — where to look for free fluid and why this space is so important in trauma
• FAST exams — connecting the anatomy to real-world emergency imaging and a finding that seems to show up on almost every episode of The Pitt

The goal isn’t to memorize anatomy for an exam. It’s to understand the anatomy well enough to recognize when something is wrong.

⭐ Don’t Miss That Radiology — practical radiology pearls for medical students, residents, and anyone who wants to get better at imaging.
