I first heard about Evernote from one of my attendings who recommended that I try the service as a way of organizing my cluttered life. Until then, I had been recording interesting radiology cases on scraps of paper, saved email attachments, or recorded on a Google Documents spreadsheet. The beauty of Evernote is its elegance of storing, categorizing, and retrieving information. Evernote.com is an online storage for images, notes and PDFs that is accessible from the internet or basically any internet ready device. All notes, PDFs and images are cataloged and can be searched, even text within images! The following is a video on how one medical student uses Evernote as a medical peripheral brain: I think this has huge potential for radiology but I'm still in the early phases of testing out the service. I will report back once I have a firm grasp of how Evernote can benefit the every day radiologist. If you have experience with Evernote, I want to hear about it. To learn more or try out their free service, go to Evernote.com. |
