Navigating Radiology

Textbooks can't teach you how to read a scan. This channel bridges the gap between theory and practice.

I'm Rajesh, a radiologist in Toronto. I created this channel to give you the practical, real-world radiology training I wish I had as a resident.

My videos are the antidote to the overwhelm from bloated textbooks and abstract lectures. They will help you:

1. Learn systematic, practical approaches to complex studies like CT and MRI.
2. Understand foundational concepts taught simply, from first principles.
3. Master the high-yield anatomy and pearls that matter in real-life practice.
4. Build the confidence to avoid simple mistakes and feel ready for your next shift.

But watching videos isn't enough. You can only truly learn radiology through practice.

That’s why we built the platform on NavigatingRadiology.com -- an interactive system with a full screen PACS viewer, curated high-yield courses, and an “AI Attending” that gives you instant feedback and guidance.

Try it today!

What if five minutes on your phone each day made you a better radiologist?

After feedback from a couple hundred beta users, we're releasing an app to make that real. RadLingo is now live on web and iOS.

It's gamified microlearning for radiology knowledge: the core concepts, management pearls, syndromes and facts you need to know cold. Made fun.

Think: "Duolingo for radiology."

Navigating Radiology already teaches the practical skill of reading scans. RadLingo is for the other half: knowledge acquisition.

We’ve all started a new Q-bank with great intentions, answered five questions, and then never touched it again.

RadLingo helps you stay consistent with small reps that stick -- just 10 questions a day. The app includes:
• 13K+ questions, mapped to ABR topics.
• First-principles explanations from an AI Attending.
• One-tap images so you stay in flow.
• Streaks, trophies, and points.

I'm on a 30-day streak myself, and I've refreshed more knowledge in a month than I did in the past year.


RadLingo also has three other ways AI can help you learn radiology:
• Oral Boards Simulator (Beta): Speak your findings to an AI examiner that moves you through each case.
• Guided Learning Mode: Pick any topic and text through it with a socratic tutor.
• AI Knowledge Search: Fast on-the-job answers with citations.


There’s a free tier for everyone. It's also the first app I've built myself, so if you spot a bug, please let me know.

I’m excited for you to try it.

7.6 million views later… I have a confession.

Many of you know Navigating Radiology as my YouTube channel.

Fewer know that I’ve spent years building something bigger. A platform that teaches radiology from the ground up – with a fullscreen PACS, AI voice feedback, and CME credits.

One year ago, we launched Navigating Radiology 2.0.

I love what we built, but I’ve been hesitant to post about it on personal / professional platforms.

In academic medicine, commercializing education can be seen as taboo. I get that. Navigating Radiology began with years of free teaching – a tradition we’ll continue.

But this journey has changed how I think about impact.


Our growth was a series of surprises:

Over a decade ago, I uploaded "Introduction to CT Head" just for my med students. Today, it has over 1 million views (Thank You!)

I built a simple Wix site selling basic courses with static cases. To my surprise, a lot of people bought them.

But I wasn't satisfied with static links. I imagined the ideal way to learn radiology: a custom platform with a full-screen DICOM viewer, AI voice feedback, and curated subspecialty courses.

To build this right, it needed time from busy radiologists and full-stack developers.

And developers prefer to be paid.

So I reinvested every dollar from those early course sales into building the platform that exists today.

Because radiology education is not “learning” for the sake of it. What a radiologist sees affects whether someone gets to go home, is admitted, starts treatment, or has surgery.

What began with a few fans of the YouTube channel has grown to thousands of trainees in dozens of countries. Several programs now use Navigating Radiology.

We recently partnered with RAD-AID International to donate access across low-resource regions. At our RSNA booth, residents told me that 30 minutes on the platform felt more useful than five hours with a textbook. Another said the AI Attending felt like "a senior radiologist over your shoulder".

Our ambition is to build the best radiology learning platform online. To make radiology make sense. We’re at work on new courses, features, and a gamified learning app (announcement coming soon).

I’m grateful, humbled, and still surprised at every step of the journey.

Thank you for being part of the community that made this possible,

Rajesh Bhayana

I asked you what's hardest about Shoulder MR.

The top answers were no surprise: Complex Anatomy & Knowing Where to Start.

That’s EXACTLY what this Thursday’s video is built for.

In one focused session, we lay out clinically relevant anatomy and a practical approach to reading Shoulder MR. Everything you need to get started reading cases.

Then, our full Shoulder MRI course (already available to preview on Navigating Radiology) has 40+ fully scrollable cases that teach you what you need to know... so you can read your next case with confidence.

New video drops Thursday.

Do you manually protocol, fix reports, and hunt through Epic more than actually looking at scans? Is "Agentic AI" here to save us?

I joined my friend Dr. Satheesh Krishna on the Radiologists Podcast to dissect the reality of Radiology IT and AI.


We skip the hype and look at the actual facts. Outdated systems slow us down, but real solutions exist today. At our hospital, LLMs auto-protocol every single abdomen CT and offload the administrative parts of reporting.


Innovation is here. Integration is the real hurdle.

Watch the full conversation below. 👇


Let me know: what tech or administrative workflow costs you the most time?
