The Radiology task force of WikiProject Medicine aims to better organize information in articles related to Radiology. Radiology is the medical specialty of medicine that deals with acquisition and interpretation of medical images, such as chest X-rays, MRIs, CTs, ultrasound, and nuclear medicine. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Scope

The clinical aspects of radiology and basic aspects of engineering and biomedical physics required to understand medical imaging techniques.

This task force aims to:

• increase the quality of the current articles on radiology topics by increasing their medical content while keeping them accessible to individuals with no specialty medical knowledge
• facilitate the creation of new articles on topics in radiology, so that Wikipedia is a more-or-less comprehensive radiology resource for the public
• ensure that articles created on radiology topics are thoroughly referenced and include up-to-date links to the most recent literature
• explain the use of evidence-based medicine in radiology
• maintain consistency per WP:MOS on radiology articles
• increase the number of images attached to articles
• produce radiology-themed featured articles based on the above

[edit] Articles needing creation or improvement

[edit] Articles needing images/better images

• Chest X-ray
• bone fracture: ideal if we had a non-reduced/fixed fracture XR
• pulmonary embolism: has no radiology at all!
• endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography: needs cholangiogram
• Diffuse esophageal spasm: need article and corkscrew esophagus barium swallow
• Achalasia: would be ideal to have barium swallow
• Lymphangioleiomyomatosis; compare to tuberous sclerosis where the CT chests of the former are supposed to be far more impressive
• Barium swallow: need barium swallow image
• Crohn's disease: would be great if we had a classic string sign image
• endoscopic ultrasound: ultrasound picture needed
• Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: Typical Chest X-ray and CT scan findings
• All of the Category:Radiologic signs pages - no radiology for any of them.

[edit] Project notice

The template for marking an article as part of the Radiology task force is part of the WikiProject Medicine banner, {{WPMED}}. It can be inserted into an article's talkpage with:

{{WPMED |class= |importance= |radiology=yes |radiology-imp= }}

The first "importance" parameter is the subject's importance to the overall field of medicine, according to the guidelines here. The importance of a subject to the field of radiology should be listed with the "radiology-imp" parameter.
