Radiology Adviser (radviser.org) is a proposed MediaWiki-based online source in radiology. It will be editable by those who are verified radiologists or radiology scholars, while others are welcome to leave comments and suggestions at talk pages.

Radiopaedia is currently the most comprehensive wiki-based reference work in Radiology, but I think we need an alternative. Mainly, Radiopaedia is officially a "business" owned by Investling.com, and is driven by advertising and paid subscription. With Miraheze, on the other hand, it is possible create and maintain a comprehensive reference work for radiologists by donations and volunteer time alone.

Also, Radiopedia by default assigns the license Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-NC-SA 3.0), whose NonCommercial part makes the material ineligible for integration into Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia. Content in Radviser, on the other hand, will by default be licensed as Attribution 4.0 International, which will allow the content to be used more freely by other scholarly websites.
