What RadiologyInfo.org does

RadiologyInfo.org is a non-profit public information website that delivers patient and provider education on radiologic procedures, radiation safety, and imaging-related disease. It was established and is funded jointly by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) and the American College of Radiology (ACR), with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) as a sponsoring organization. The site contains approximately 300 vetted procedure, exam, radiation-safety, and disease descriptions covering diagnostic and interventional radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, and radiation safety, with all content reviewed by expert physician committees from the three sponsoring societies. The platform is presented in English and Spanish and addresses both patients preparing for imaging exams and healthcare providers seeking patient-facing educational materials.

The product surface extends well beyond the website itself. RadiologyInfo distributes printable PDF handouts, animated patient-friendly videos hosted on the ACR Animations YouTube channel, radiologist-narrated videos, an 8.5"x11" radiation-dose reference card, a glossary of radiology terms, pediatric-specific content, exam requisition templates in PDF and MS Word formats, and a mobile app. The site also co-publishes Patient-Friendly Summaries of the ACR Appropriateness Criteria with the Journal of the American College of Radiology, and co-sponsors the Patient Medical Imaging Record with Image Wisely and the FDA. Underlying technology is a standard web CMS (ASP.NET session tracking) with Google Analytics for traffic analysis, JW Player for video delivery, and Facebook/Twitter sharing integrations.

The business model is non-commercial. RadiologyInfo does not generate revenue: it is funded by its sponsoring professional societies, does not run paid advertising, and does not charge users. Distribution is achieved through organic search/SEO over its indexed procedure pages, through physicians printing and distributing handouts and requisition templates, and through social sharing. The site does not provide cost information for procedures and explicitly disclaims medical advice and physician referrals. Operating continuity depends on continued sponsorship by RSNA, ACR, and ASRT rather than on commercial customer revenue.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Radiopaedia: Radiopaedia is a free online radiology encyclopedia with case libraries, reference articles, and educational content aimed at radiologists and students. It is the closest direct peer because it is also a nonprofit/open-access radiology knowledge resource competing for the same professional and trainee audience, though it skews more clinician-facing than patient-facing.
• MedlinePlus: MedlinePlus is the U.S. National Library of Medicine's consumer health information portal, providing vetted content on diseases, tests, and treatments including imaging procedures. It competes directly for the same patient-education queries and is similarly government/nonprofit-backed with a similar mission.

Broad incumbents

• Mayo Clinic Patient Library: Mayo Clinic publishes extensive patient-education articles on diseases, tests (including imaging), and procedures through mayoclinic.org. It is a broader incumbent covering all of medicine but competes head-on for radiology procedure queries with strong brand authority.
