Rationale And Objectives:
We describe a model of multi-institutional, multisociety, online case conferences that is a case-based group discussion of selected (nonrandom) cases which are subsequently hosted on social media and online platforms (e.g., YouTube, websites) to be available for a wider audience.
Materials And Methods:
Using online conferencing software (Zoom, GoToMeeting), participants from both abdominal and cardiothoracic radiologists engage in separate, subspecialty one-hour meetings discussing a variety of meaningful cases. Participants take turns presenting their cases to the group and discuss significant findings, interpretations, differential diagnoses, and any other teaching points. All of the case conferences for both societies are recorded and edited to be uploaded on YouTube and their respective websites.
Results:
Participants from these conferences log in from 14 institutions in 7 states across the United States. The YouTube videos reach thousands of people around the world. The abdominal case conference on YouTube has received almost 1,300 views with 90 videos uploaded. The thoracic (the Society of Thoracic Radiology) case conference has been running for over 7 years, with 226 videos uploaded to YouTube and 38,200 views, 1426 subscribers, and a total watch time of over 525,800 minutes. Twitter has been utilized by both groups to promote online viewership.
Conclusion:
Our model is feasible and effective compared to traditional peer review. The cases selected are deliberate and focused on quality improvement and/or education. We harness online engagement, specifically social media presence, which has opened new opportunities to educate our peers and reach a global audience, including the nonradiologic community, to learn about radiology and unique practices.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
