##~ RULES & GUIDELINES ~

> Please remove any patient/institution identifiers before posting medical images.


I. De-Identified Health Information.	There are no restrictions on the use or disclosure of de-identified health information. De-identified health information neither identifies nor provides a reasonable basis to identify an individual. See wiki for example.

> Admissible content for this subreddit includes the following:


I. Medical Imaging submissions.	These include quality images from any radiology modality. Please make sure to include any relevant information/history in your title or as a comment. Specific hosting suggestions, format, and proper use of spoilers, can be found in the WIKI


II. News content, relevant links, or professional/patient interactions.	Not all submissions are medical images. You may submit relevant news articles addressing developments in the field, links and images depicting the field of radiology, free continuing education opportunities, and interactions you or someone else might have experienced with an imaging professional or while working in the field.


III. Published articles or case reports.	Academic journal articles or online publications addressing the field, developments, etc. Please make sure your link is publicly accessible, and does not require a log in for viewing.


IV. Patient cases.	Please include relevant medical images as your link. Additional case info should be added as a comment to your post. If this is a personal imaging exam, please note the disclaimer below in the Submission troubleshoot and disclaimers section.


V. Common questions & advice.	There is a weekly thread stickied to the top of the subreddit for these types of submissions. Any career advice, student advice, or generic questions posted outside of this thread will be removed.

> The following submissions / comments are NOT allowed.


I. NO MEDICAL ADVICE.	This includes posting / commenting on personal imaging exams without known or established findings, recommendations for alternative course of treatment, or any other inquiry that should be answered by your physician / provider.


II. No product, company, or general advertising.	We understand that a niche subreddit such as this would serve as a good medium for service/product promotion. However, in order to maintain the educational purpose of this sub we have chosen to exclude any form of product/corporate propaganda.


III. No AI (artificial intelligence) posts.	No, it will not replace radiologists or technologists. Stop asking.


IV. Etiquette.	Please be courteous and respectful to fellow users. Everyone is entitled their opinion, and some users are here to learn. Not everyone subscribed to this sub is an imaging or medical professional. Rude comments will not be tolerated, and can be removed at moderator discretion.

> Submission troubleshoot & disclaimers:


I. Personal imaging exams.	You are welcome to post your own medical images, however, second opinions / advice will not be given or encouraged. This forum is for education of those interested in radiology only, and not for personal advice. For this reason users may notice that posts asking for second opinions tend to be downvoted, have fewer comments, and will end up being deleted.


II. Post not showing up?	If your submission appears to be missing, but definitely meets the above guidelines, please check the new tab before taking any further action. If you still can't see your recent post please message the moderators, we are happy to help.
