Check out this great resource for radiology education: http://www.radiologyeducation.com/
It's a great set of links which are categorised by subject. For those sitting the first part later this year, check out the online atlases. Very handy.

What's happening in the Radiology community?
Another one for those looking at sitting the first part radiology exam soon:
http://radiographics.rsnajnls.org/
It's a free online journal with great articles for those learning basic radiology physics. For a great list of articles do a keyword search with 'physics' in the search field.
Enjoy.
DeltaMed offers an excellent Trauma Imaging Seminar, aimed particularly at Trauma Physicians and Emergency Trainees who are sitting Part II fellowship exams. It is presented by Dr Max Kuperschmidt, a staff radiologist at the Alfred Hospital, and involves discussion of 140+ cases.

A great case study of Dr. Cosmin Florescu with a wonderful photograph has been added to the My Medical Career case studies section.
Make sure you consider everything you’re interested in before fully commiting to and one specialty. It’s important to consider what radiology actually involves before deciding that’s the only specialty for you. Check out the profile on this site and talk to some registrars and consultants about their careers. If you think you’d be happy doing what they’re doing then it’s probably the right specialty for you. Getting some research under your belt, particularly radiology research will probably increase your chances of getting a spot.
Read the Dr. Cosmin Florescu case study.
Radiopaedia is a clever radiology "wiki" - a collection of information generated and reviewed by its community of users. With doctors from around the world already contributing, and sponsorship from Toshiba, this site is sure to keep growing. Already included is an online textbook, collection of mnemonics, and study guides for radiology trainees in several countries. And best of all, it was started by a Melbourne-based radiologist and has plenty of information relevant to Australian trainees.
Just thought I'd alert everyone to a great resource I've discovered on the internet. It's on the Monash Medical Centre's radiology registrar website and provides great alogorithms for determining whether patients' require imaging for various clinical presentations. Check it out at:
Dr. Elliot Fishman, director of diagnostic radiology and body CT, and colleagues designed a test to determine which web resources best delivered accurate information to medical students most efficiently. Efficiency was based on the number of links one had to view. Students were randomized to complete the exam by using either Google or any other web resource. Participants repeated the exam with the alternative arm in two weeks. An analysis of the results from 86 medical students who completed the protocol showed that Google was more efficient compared with all alternatives (mean links 1.50 versus 1.94, p = 0.002). Following a Google search, 89% of end-sites identified that provided correct answers were medical websites. The most frequent alternatives used to initiate a search were the search engines Yahoo and Ask, and the encyclopedia Wikipedia. Yahoo yielded comparable correctness to Google (96% versus 97%) but was less efficient (mean links 1.90 versus 1.54, p<0.001).
