UBCmedclass2022 Posted January 13, 2023 Report Share Posted January 13, 2023 Didnt do Mcgill interview but for toronto they had cases on bread and butter things - common pathologies on chest xrays like pneumothorax, lobar pneumonia (knowing your silhouette sign). We also had like a pancoast tumor question. I think there was maybe an Abdo xray as well (i think it was SBO or something). Otherwise, they had some anatomy questions. Honestly I wouldnt stress about it, its usually basic things. If you have done a few weeks of rads electives, you’ll be fine! Also, U of T claims they dont use our test results in their decision making, though it could be different for Mcgill! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For anatomy questions, was it general anatomy or anatomy off imaging like CT Thorax for example? Because those two things are different skills haha Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBCmedclass2022 Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 So it was all anatomy on imaging - mostly I believe it was xray, but I do remember some fluoroscopy image with arterial anatomy questions. No cross sectional imaging that I can recall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptical Posted January 23, 2023 Report Share Posted January 23, 2023 As per the above responses, it would not be unreasonable to expect anatomy and cases with straightforward findings/disgnoses on X-ray and perhaps CT (highly unlikely MRI). If you really need material to prepare for this, a quick read through of Herring's Learning Radiology could be useful, if you haven't already done so for your elective rotations.
