I started R1 last week on neuro, and I have been feeling so lost (expected to read head CTs, but with no one ever sitting down and showing me how) that I honestly doubted picking this specialty. This video has given me a lot of confidence to read more, and I'm now almost looking forward to work tomorrow. Thank you so much. I will watch this again and again until all the subtleties (e.g., common blind spots) stick. You're the man!

[@joey6117]

I just started my neurosurgery too and I feel lost as well! they literally expect u to know everything in a short time. I hope we both get motivated and do our best. Good luck

[@no-de3lg]

Same here im struggling like u hope u are ok

I am neurology resident. I was learning ct brain with great efforts. But your lecture is perfect and taught almost all the things that I learnt in a year. Thank u sm

[@vikrammungamuru9426]

One of the best lectures I've watched. Thank you.

[@Tazdingooooo]

Easily the best CT head video on KZbin. I hope there will be more neuroradiology!

[@Crescent-Adam]

Adding to the sea of comments profusely thanking you for this titanic effort and brilliant lecture series !! Legendary work worth all the praise !

[@c6g12c6]

Please do more of these for all the common studies, very useful!

[@larrybrown7366]

the video content is clear, well-organized, and easily understandable. I've been searching for learning materials on X-ray and CT, but couldn't find any. Thanks to KZbin for recommending your videos. It's really incredible. Thank you for your hard work and dedication.

[@thugU91]

I'm a newbie to CT in the veterinary world, and we were tasked with watching this series to get an introduction to the technology. I must say, even though this is a lot of information, the presentation is well-organized, and the speaking tone and cadence of the presenter keeps my attention throughout the video. Have him present everything in my life and I think my attention deficit will be cured! Haha

[@JenningsArgwings]

clear tutorial for newbies...a must have for every medical student

[@mrs.andmr.davesar2511]

WOW. Although i m late in watching this video, but i don't think this can be explained in a better way than this. Thanks a ton sir.

As an R1 radiology resident on my first ever neuro rotation, this was invaluable... At least now I have a systematic way to approach a non CT head... Thank you!

Amazing stuff. Watching this for my neurology exam. I think I've already understood most of brain imaging relevant for the exam but this is definitely helping me consolidate my knowledge. Next year I'll have radiology, I'll totally come back to your channel, you just gained a faithful new subscriber brother.

GOLD STANDARD. I've watched a dozen "intro to neurorads" videos first block of R1. Start with this 1-2 times by day 1 and you should make a good impression

[@winteregg9508]

Literally one of the best if not the best video!

[@gymgodzyzzfuark1643]

I am a 5th year medical student, which means I still have 1.5 years until I become a resident, as of now and I was leaning on choosing Radiology as my future specialty. In my country it is the hardest to get matched into and you need to be top few % from thousands to match into it and I was getting discouraged by how hard it is. But this sparked my interest once again and made me realise that this is what I want to do. Thank you so much!

[@kenihcishimazaki4061]

Thank you for this video from Japan! This video has helped me a lot in my internship.

[@edvhollywood4544]

Searching for info on MS, had 3 mri’s since 2008 to now 2019. It started with an ear test that showed loss on 1 side, which is a sign of strokes. And vertigo. Was the reason I went in to doctors. So now just watching for changes , getting worse. Will not take meds for MS till they get something that works. The neurologist in Silverdale WA state is the coldest meanest person , arrogant! Keep breathing and study this info which helps.

[@mutlucan7549]

Content is great. But what is even more awesome is your way of teachıng ! You seem to be born to teach. I mean it. Btw what is the software you use to get the dıfferent windowing, planes etc ...I mean is there a software we can us at home such as the one we would use ın the hospital? I find it very usefull to scrollıng down all the 3 planes, ı.e. sagittal, coronal, axial simultanesously.
