Abstract

Instagram is a rapidly growing platform with more than 1 billion monthly active users. It is increasingly becoming recognized as a tool for education in visually rich fields of medicine, being particularly suited to radiology. The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the key strategies employed by an online radiologist educator to optimally utilize and grow a radiology Instagram account. The authors hope that these insights serve as a reproducible template for radiologists seeking to explore this online platform.
