Five tools worth checking out in this category

Round out your toolkit with resources that support retrieval practice, accessible study, and accurate, up-to-date references. These aren’t course platforms; they’re the “glue” that helps LMRT learners plan, review, and check understanding between sessions.

Radiopaedia annotated cases, quizzes, and articles

Website: Radiopaedia

Radiopaedia offers a massive, peer-contributed library of annotated imaging cases and concise reference articles, plus quiz modes for self-testing.

For LMRT: select basic radiographic cases that align with your scope (e.g., chest, extremities) and use them for brief image critique practice. Registration is free; optional supporter plans remove distracting ads and add features. LMRT pros include realistic variability and exposure to common patterns. Just curate carefully—some content targets advanced trainees. Combine cases with a short worksheet that asks for positioning critique, exposure assessment, and safety notes.

Pros: Authentic images, built-in quizzes, huge library.
Cons: Variable depth; requires instructor curation to match LMRT level.

OpenStax: Anatomy & Physiology free OER text with media

Website: OpenStax A&P.

OpenStax A&P is a free, peer-reviewed textbook with high-quality diagrams, chapter summaries, and review questions—great for quick anatomy refreshers tied to positioning landmarks. The online version includes searchable text and downloadable PDFs/EPUBs so students can review on any device. Instructors can link specific sections (e.g., “Shoulder girdle” or “Thoracic cage”) directly in modules or LMS pages.

Pros: Zero cost, ADA-minded formatting, easy to cite.
Cons: Static content—pair with your interactive checks or images to reinforce transfer to radiography tasks.

Use case: Assign a short reading, then a two-question positioning check tied to the landmarks students just reviewed.

Anki spaced-repetition flashcards (free, powerful)

Website: Anki

Anki is an open-source spaced-repetition system that schedules flashcards just before you’re likely to forget—excellent for long-term retention of safety rules, exposure formulas, and anatomy terms. Learners can build their own decks or import curated sets; instructors can provide starter decks aligned to your outcomes and textbook chapters. The desktop app is free. Mobile options vary by platform, and AnkiWeb sync keeps progress across devices.

Pros: Science-backed recall, fully customizable card types (including images).
Cons: The UI is utilitarian and takes a day to learn; encourage students to start small (10–20 cards/day) to avoid overload. Pair with weekly image-based cards for positioning landmarks and exposure decisions.

Clover Learning LMRT & Radiography Training, Exam Prep, and CE

Website: Clover Learning

Clover Learning is an all-in-one platform for LMRT and radiography students that combines byte-sized video lessons, lesson quizzes & module assessments, and ARRT-style question banks with mock exams—aimed at confidence building and board prep (they highlight a 96% pass rate). The catalog includes targeted plans for Radiography, Limited Radiography (LMRT), CT/MRI, and more, with ASRT-approved CE/CQR for continuing education. Educators can license academic plans for cohorts. Learners can subscribe individually.

For LMRT: The Limited Radiography track packages anatomy, positioning, radiation safety, and exam-style practice in one place—ideal for remediation and structured self-study.

Pros: Comprehensive, exam-aligned content, bite-sized modules, and CE options in the same ecosystem.
Cons: Paid subscription/licensing. Success depends on aligning modules to your course map and using the analytics to target weak spots.
