NeuroRad Oral Boards

An adaptive oral-boards examiner for neuroradiology.

A real case appears — images and history. The examiner asks; you answer, out loud or typed. Technique, findings, differential, management. Then you dictate your impression, the way you will at the podium.

Every case is attending-authored, and the examiner adapts to what you actually say — it probes weak reasoning instead of reading from a script.

Why practice out loud

The oral boards test a different skill.

Reading cases silently and taking the exam out loud are different skills. At the podium you must organize your observations in real time, commit to a differential with appropriate weight, defend your reasoning under follow-up questions, and deliver a clean final impression — all while someone is watching.

NeuroRad Oral Boards makes that rehearsal repeatable. Each case runs like the exam:

01

Characterize the study and technique first.

02

Describe the findings and commit to what matters.

03

Defend your differential under adaptive follow-up.

04

Recommend management and the next step.

05

Dictate a final impression you would sign.

06

Get graded the way the exam grades — holistically.

What you get back

Your case in. Your coaching out.

Your examination
TECHNIQUE — how you characterized the study
FINDINGS & DIFFERENTIAL — under adaptive questioning
FINAL IMPRESSION — dictated, then graded
Your evaluation
Attending feedback addressed directly to you.
A coaching verdict across nine domains — observation, localization, pattern recognition, prioritization, differential, management, confidence calibration, communication, impression quality.
A holistic ABR-style score, assigned in one judgement — never averaged from the domains.
Which of the case's required concepts you covered — and which you missed.
The case's teaching points, revealed only after you finish.
The case library

Attending-authored, across the whole field.

The library spans Brain, Head and Neck, Spine, Vascular, Pediatrics, Pituitary, Neuro-Oncology, Infection and Inflammation, and Emergency neuroradiology — attending-authored cases with the ground truth hidden until your evaluation, so every case plays honestly.

How it works

Three steps to the podium.

Pick a category

A case appears with its images and clinical history — and nothing else. The diagnosis stays hidden until you finish.

Be examined

The examiner questions you adaptively through technique, findings, and your differential — pressing where your reasoning is soft, moving on when you have earned it.

Dictate and get graded

Submit your final impression and receive attending-style coaching across nine domains plus a holistic ABR-style score.

Scope

What it is — and is not.

NeuroRad Oral Boards is an educational exam simulation. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the American Board of Radiology, and performance here does not predict performance on any actual examination. Educational coaching does not replace attending review. Do not enter protected health information — the cases provide everything you need.
