Onlangs schreef ik over het streven van Sumer’s Radiology Site om een grote visite over Radiologie te beginnen. Inmiddels is het geen streven meer, maar is de Radiologie Grand Rounds (grote visite) live.

Wat is een grote visite of blog carnival?
A Blog Carnival is a particular kind of blog community. There are many kinds of blogs and websites, and they contain articles on many kinds of topics. Blog Carnivals typically collect together links pointing to blog articles on a particular topic. A Blog Carnival is like a magazine. It has a title, a topic, editors, contributors, and an audience. Editions of the carnival typically come out on a regular basis (e.g. every monday, or on the first of the month). Each edition is a special blog article that consists of links to all the contributions that have been submitted, often with the editors opinions or remarks.

Grand Rounds is an old tradition that doctors have. Once a week, they get together and talk about one case in detail. Keeping up with this tradition this Carnival of Medical Imaging has been named “Radiology Grand Rounds”.
