📍 Ankylosing spondylitis with fracture.

🩻 X-rays show dagger spine, squared vertebral bodies, bamboo spine, and fused SI joints.

🗡️ Broken dagger on AP marks an L3 chalkstick fracture, confirmed on lateral and CT — a classic brittle spine injury.

Achalasia on a barium swallow: very dilated oesophagus (UK spelling as I practice in the UK!), barium mixing with food residue giving a bubbly appearance, smooth narrowing to a very tight lumen at the distal oesophagus, known as the 'bird beak' sign, with little barium passing into the stomach.

📘 Sneak peek at FRCRverse, a new series edited by my colleague Siddharth Thaker (pictured) and Harun Gupta (Leeds). A clear, concise and beautifully structured guide for radiology trainees prepping for FRCR 2A/2B and daily practice. Huge effort by Harun and Sid 👏

🎯 History: Abdominal pain.

🎯 CT: Bilateral rectus sheath haematomas with increased muscle density. No definite bleeding point (no arterial phase). No intra-abdominal extension.

🎯 Usually unilateral, most often spontaneous in patients on anticoagulation.

📌 Acute appendicitis on CT:
🟣 Gas + calcium appendicoliths in appendix
🟢 Caecal pole = key landmark
🔴 Dilated, thick-walled, fluid-filled appendix
🟠 Surrounding fat stranding = inflammation
❗️Look for perforation signs: abscess or free gas

👀 Someone forgot to take their glasses out of their shirt pocket…

Here are my top captions:
🤓 “That’s a spectac-ular artefact”
😎 “Eye see the problem”

How would you caption this chest xray?

Radiology meets rap - check out this video created by Paymon Zomorodian from RadBytes, with captions added by me. This rap is now well and truly stuck in my head.

And when Paymon asked the community for suggestions for a name for this new rap group, someone suggested 2PACs. Genius!

🎧 🎙️ Listen to me and Emmeline Lee discussing the imaging of ovarian torsion in Episode 68 of the @radiopaedia.org Reading Room podcast. Lots of serious radiology chat as well as a few nerdy jokes.
