Rad-dex

What's new

The latest changes to Rad-dex. We ship often during beta.

Week of Jul 12, 2026

  • A reliability pass across study: if a grade cannot be saved you now see it right away and can retry, opening a shared card link never touches your review schedule, and replaying the tour no longer records real grades.
  • Extra practice cards now stay in your deck across reloads and devices and show on the session progress bar with a small +. A back arrow by the date lets you look back at what you studied on previous days, and skipped cards return a few days later instead of the next morning.
  • With an exam date set, every card is guaranteed a final review on or before exam day, and your study day now follows your own timezone rather than the server clock.
  • New members now begin with cards that have passed expert review, daily decks favor reviewed cards whenever they are equally relevant, and email sign-in links are far more reliable, especially on hospital email systems.

Week of Jul 6, 2026

  • The Review page got a full redesign: see what is due versus overdue, how strong your recall of the pile is right now, and the week of reviews ahead. Overdue cards are labeled with how late they are, and reviews surface most-fragile-first.
  • Quick 10: when the pile is large, start a short, finishable session of the ten cards you are closest to forgetting.
  • Review timing now runs on a modern memory model that adapts to how you actually remember, spacing each card to return just before you would forget it.
  • Behind the scenes, Rad-dex now tracks the reporting systems and guidelines that define practice, from Lung-RADS and LI-RADS to the ACR contrast and MR safety manuals. When one changes, the affected cards are updated and every revision is logged on Recent updates.
  • Groundwork for deeper literature: papers from the major radiology journals are curated into the library, including landmark and lesser-known studies chosen for practicing radiologists.
  • The library grew by 220 cards this week, added where blueprint coverage was thinnest across the subspecialties.
  • An editorial pass checked nearly 1,300 cards against their sources; 167 corrections were published, each logged on Recent updates.
  • The FAQ and About pages now explain how content keeps pace with changing standards, how review orders what is due, and the depth available for fellows and attendings.

Week of Jun 29, 2026

  • Grading now moves you straight to the next card, and anything you miss returns a few cards later in the same session until you get it right. The session strip shows each card’s type and outcome, lets you jump between cards, and can be tuned in Settings.
  • Your dashboard adds a 30-day activity chart, the week of reviews ahead, and, once you set an exam date, whether you’re on pace and how much you’re projected to retain on exam day.
  • A new home page for signed-in study: today’s progress, your streak and exam countdown, and recent updates to the exact cards you’ve studied.
  • Cards that have passed editorial review now carry a Reviewed mark; tap it to see when the card was last checked against its sources. Email and password changes now take a verified extra step.

Week of Jun 22, 2026

  • The daily set now leads with foundational cards matched to your level, building up before the fine print.
  • Study depth is now ‘Foundations first’ or ‘Rapid review,’ describing how you study rather than your title.
  • Two new light themes, Sage and Iris, a theme picker grouped by light and dark, and a new card-title color control (muted, white, or vibrant).

Late June 2026

  • Every card now shows its full reference set — linked teaching images, key points, board pearls, and a verified source — in the Library as well as the daily feed.
  • Paper summaries restructured into a consistent skeleton: key points, the at-the-workstation takeaway, a board pearl, methods, and limitations.
  • A new Recent updates page with a live, plain-language tally of what’s been reviewed, sourced, and corrected.
  • Themes now carry across every page while you’re signed in, and the app header stays with you.
  • Continuous editorial review: an independent pass checks each card against authoritative sources and logs every correction.

Earlier in June 2026

  • New sections — Ultrasound & Doppler, AI & Informatics, and Non-interpretive Skills — each with a starter question set.
  • Library upgrade: full-text search, filters by type and subspecialty, saved items, and a one-tap “study these” session.
  • Study planner: a daily mix, a rotation block for service weeks, or a custom cycle that auto-advances.
  • Daily digest email (opt-in), distraction-free focus mode, streaks, and a coverage dashboard.
  • Reliability pass: closed a content-write security gap, added error handling across save flows, and indexed the database.
