Hi, I’m Jake. This channel is a channel about radiology, sports, and the overlap between the two.
I’m a Texan by birth and proud graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. I went to medical school at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
After finishing a full residency in internal medicine, I am now completing a second residency in diagnostic radiology. Long term, I’m interested in both nuclear medicine and musculoskeletal radiology. I may even practice outpatient internal medicine one of these days.
Teaching is one of my greatest passions in life. In my free time, I enjoy cycling, lifting weights, reading, and spending time with my wife and dog (Lou). Also, I’m a huge Texas Longhorns football fan.
A lot of people say don’t take notes because it’s a waste of time. I agree to extent, but I feel that I need pen and paper as an extension of my brain to learn concepts and make sure I understand them correctly
It would also be very interesting to see situations where there is "some ACL left" to try to distinguish between partial tears and sprains - in other words, a situation where it would be much more beneficial to look at all sagittal axial and coronal views.
Also, I would gladly provide you with my MRI reports, if you would like to create another video like that but you do not have MRI reports of other people who have agreed
my daughter tore her ACL fully a month ago and scheduled for ACL surgery in a couple of weeks. Lately her injured knee has been improved tremendously, is this normal? This progress is making me having doubt if the first MRI result is accurate or if she needs to do another MRI to see if her ACL is completely torn or partial?
Glad to hear your daughter is getting better. That is a great question and a hard one for me to answer. Some degree of improvement is definitely normal. I would ask your daughter’s surgeon what he or she thinks about the progress your daughter has made and if surgery is still necessary. As a rule of thumb, surgery is often a good option in young and healthy people with high grade tears. Low grade injuries are often treated without surgery.
Sir I'm a second year medical school student, despite studying on regular basis I've scored 62 % i didn't know what to do? your video has been very helpful.
Yeah the bone marrow signal is often kind of heterogeneous on T2. I use my T1 for the bones and anything darker than neighboring muscle on T1 is something to worry about.
This was very informative, but not as helpful when looking at my MRI. Apparently, I have cervical spondylolisthesis and I can find no information on it.
I have no idea if you'll see this but I hope so anyway, what are some alternatives to medical textbooks? my drs only advice us to study from text books, and after a long session of studying anatomy and trying to understand and connect everything together, I find it hard to recall that information even a couple of days after.
I also felt like textbooks were not really working for me for anatomy. I started trying to do spaced repetition with Anki and practice questions instead, which worked better. I think USMLERx and UWorld had good anatomy practice questions. I made my own ANKI decks for anatomy, which was definitely time consuming but ended up being worth the time investment.
Great video! I almost mastered my 'RU-vid correspondence course on Cervical Spine Radiology'. I'm using these courses plus my AI bot to decipher my XRay & MRI images prior to deciding what to do with my Cervical Radiculopathy.
Excellent presentation of emergency imaging! I always look forward to these series. Can you also do CTA of the pelvis and abdomen and their indications, like mesenteric ischemia? Thank you Jake.
Another awesome imaging video! I love these case series, and I want more of them. You can through in angiography interpretations of these cases too. Thank you!
In the post match pre graduation limbo now. Easy to get scared I’m not prepared for intern year in NYC in 3 months…nothing I heard here was really new - but the reminders that we don’t get here by accident are always welcome
Classically when I hear pulmonary angiogram I think interventional rads going in and doing pulmonary injections while watching under fluoroscopy. A CT pulmonary angiogram would be like the images I showed in this video. Its kinfa confusing as you pointed out.
Another awesome Imaging video! I always look forward to your imaging videos, which give me a better perspective on the salient features I should look for when ordering imaging. I always like to interpret any imaging to avoid relying on a radiologist 👍
Excellent Advice!! That's Good advice to get Netters (my favorite) and a book that shows real pics otherwise you will be quite surprised the first time you see a real cadaver...Lol. Flash cards are excellent for learning anatomy and an absolute must for Pharmacology. Test questions are another super effective idea. Pre -read and review is another great idea, once i started doing this... class the next day was much easier, and I was MUCH more comfortable. This is invaluable information you are giving. This is my first time seeing your channel and I am about to subscribe! Good Luck Dr Gibbons!
im a first year nursing student and anatomy was my biggest enemy in the first semester, now that im in my second semester im trying to pick it back up and memorize them earnestly this time before finishing my second year. thank you so much for the advice, this is really inspiring and hopefully i can learn it by heart soon!
I completely agree with everything you said! I also watched the pro-dissection videos before every anatomy lab. I bought the essential anatomy app, which is also an excellent resource. We used the Keith Moore dissection manual, which I usually read a day before dissecting. We were allowed to come in on weekends to study the parts we dissected during the week, as our anatomy practical exam was like yours, where you had to identify dissected parts. Another excellent video!
@@JakeGibbonsMD@JakeGibbonsMD The pro dissection was usually done by the student scholars from my school,who took the year off to earn a master's degree in anatomy and research. We sure had very similar experiences.
For sure, I'll keep that in mind. In the meantime, I think this diagram from radiopedia is pretty good radiopaedia.org/cases/park-grading-system-for-cervical-foraminal-stenosis
Another excellent video on patients presenting with acute and chronic back pain! This lumber MRI video is packed with lots of differentials to look out for. Thank you for doing this!
