About me
My name is Neal Klitsch. I am a board-certified radiologist with additional subspecialty training in musculoskeletal radiology, work full time in a private radiology practice, and (at the time of publication) still reside in my “mid-30s”. My amazing wife is a full-time pediatrician, my silly son is a full-time toddler, and my lovable black lab is a full-time eater. Our busy lives are balanced with a love of travel, food, and family.
Why did you do this?
In retrospect, the idea for this website has been germinating in my mind for years. During my radiology training, I came to recognize—and was taught—the critical importance of communication, both with other doctors and with patients. In fact, many would argue that communication is the most important part of a radiologist’s job. Patients need to understand the who, what, how, and why of their own health, and my primary mission is to shed light on this, particularly as related to medical imaging.
Who are you really?
The decision to use my real name, rather than publish anonymously or pseudonymously, was, in the end, not difficult. This website is predicated on an honest and forthcoming assessment of the world of radiology; how could I do that without telling you who I am?

If you are like me, your eyes start to glaze over when you see a “fine print”-style disclaimer. Can I convince you my disclaimer is important to read?
