What does Radiopaedia do?

Radiopaedia.org is a collaborative online radiology resource founded in 2005 by Frank Gaillard and based in Melbourne, Australia. It serves as a free, peer-reviewed platform where radiologists and trainees from around the world contribute articles, cases, and knowledge. The site aims to be the best radiology reference available, modeled after Wikipedia to encourage open-source contributions. The platform has evolved from a solo project into a community-driven initiative, supported by contributions rather than investor funding. Radiopaedia.org offers educational courses like Radiopaedia Romance and hosts virtual conferences, such as Radiopaedia 2020 and the upcoming Radiopaedia 2024, which attract large audiences for radiology education. The organization emphasizes sustainability and accessibility, providing tools for case sharing and ongoing community engagement.
