I'm PD Dr. med. Christoph Agten, an MSK radiologist, mentor, and teleradiologist. I founded the Virtual MSK Fellowship, helping over 300 radiologists master MSK faster than they thought possible. I have completed fellowships in Zurich and NYU, written 40+ research papers, and published the bestselling books SPEED MSK and THE CONFIDENT RADIOLOGIST.

๐Ÿšซ Stop trying to learn MSK from static images.

Real pathology is messy. It doesnโ€™t look like the textbook examples.

Thatโ€™s why I just opened the doors to The Agten Library. It is a vault of 1,300+ video case reviews where I show you exactly how I diagnose complex cases in real-time.

I cover everything from "Rotator cuff partial tears" to "TFCC injuries" to the stuff that usually makes you want to skip the case.

I just finished the migration, and the full archive is live now.

Radiopaedia can't teach you this...

Here is why I built the Agten Library:

You open a wrist MRI at 4:45 PM.

You scroll. You see something at the TFCC. You're not sure if it's a partial tear or just degeneration. Radiopaedia gives you a dense list of features. Google shows you a textbook case that looks nothing like yours.

You're due to go home in 15 minutes.

This is the gap between textbook radiology and real life.

Generic resources give you lists. They don't show you the messy middle: what's normal, what's subtle, what actually matters, and how to phrase it so your surgeon knows exactly what to do.

Over the last four years, my fellows have sent me their hardest MSK cases every week. I open the DICOMs, scroll in real time, show my search pattern, and talk through how I'd word the report -- with a big focus on what the orthopaedic surgeon really cares about (and what they don't).

I pulled the 1,200 most useful videos and turned them into The Agten MSK Library.

It's what you'd see if I sat next to you and walked through your case.

For example, you can watch me explain:

- How to tell chronic partial UCL detachment from an acute tear in the elbow.
- When that "adhesive capsulitis" is actually an articular-sided partial supraspinatus tear.
- How to separate Morton's neuroma from intermetatarsal bursitis when they coexist.
- What to report (and what to ignore) when you see carpal instability with TFCC perforation.

There's nowhere else I know where you can keep coming back to real MSK cases like this and keep sharpening your eye whenever you have a spare 10 minutes.

Normal price: $497.

Black Friday price: $240 (52% off).

An orthopedic surgeon in London once told me a secret.

When he gets a radiology report, the first thing he checks is not the "Findings" section.

But the NAME of the radiologist. If the surgeon does not know or trust them, he ignores the report. The harsh reality is that many MSK reports are never opened.

Why does this happen?

Because clinicians are fed up with reports that create more work.

To make sure surgeons don't hate you, you need to know the top three things in a radiology report that make clinicians most angry.

I explain what they are and how to avoid them in my YouTube video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzN6g...

Please let me know what you think with a comment on the video -- it helps more radiologists find these tips.


P.S. I made a free AI app trained on my content (including this video) -- the MSK Report Analyzer is almost ready. Just mention in a comment if you want early access and I'll get you a link.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Forget the goblins. You know whatโ€™s really scary?

That one missed finding that becomes a medico-legal nightmare.

Most conferences don't help. They're just passive lectures with "perfect" textbook cases. Nobody learns like this.

That's why I'm holding a 2-day intensive MSK MRI workshop in Abu Dhabi.

Itโ€™s a hands-on deep dive covering all major joints, using real DICOM cases to give you the practical calibration you've been missing.

Now for the truly scary part.

The event is only 15 days away.

We have exactly 4 spots left.

Once they are gone, that's it. I keep this group small to make sure everyone can interact.

If you want to join for this unique event that will give you confidence to handle any MSK case that hits your list, this is your last chance.

Here are 5 lessons from teaching 300+ fellows:

1) Real cases beat perfect textbook case
2) Speed is a learnable skill, separate from knowledge
3) MSK radiology is not black and white and you have to find your calibration
4) Calibration can be learned
5) If you want to learn MSK above a certain level, standard conferences are not enough

(If you donโ€™t know what calibration is, check out my free video where I explain it my.onlinemskfellowship.com/fellowship)

Thatโ€™s from my recent YouTube poll. Sounds right to me.

Tell me, have you ever left a lecture feeling like youโ€™ve finally nailed a topic, only to get back to your messy worklist and feel completely overwhelmed

This is the โ€˜Radiology Trapโ€™.

The trap happens because most conferences
1) Are passive and lack feedback
2) Rely on perfect, clear-cut examples that donโ€™t prepare you for the ambiguous scans you face every day.

So, whatโ€™s the fix?

My goal is to find out at my 2-day MSK workshop in Abu Dhabi this November 15th and 16th. Itโ€™s a hands-on, interactive event focused on the messy cases we actually see, with an option for 5-weeks of online follow-up where you get feedback on YOUR own cases to make sure the learning sticks.

I'll condense my insights from coaching 300+ radiologists to report MSK with speed and confidence into an intensive two day sprint.

This is the practical, real-world training that actually makes a difference.

Be honest: How often do you apply something you learned at a radiology conference in a way that makes a significant impact on your day-to-day work?

Controversial Question: The clinical value we radiologists provide to orthopedic surgeons is about the same as it was 20 years ago.

Agree or disagree?
