About Radcalcs

Radcalcs is a free collection of evidence-based clinical calculators built for physicians and radiologists. Every tool is grounded in published guidelines and designed for real clinical workflows โ€” fast, mobile-optimized, and free from clutter.

Our Mission

Clinical decision support tools should be free, fast, and accurate. Radcalcs exists because the best clinical calculators online are often slow, cluttered with ads, or built on outdated equations. We are building the resource we wished existed during training and clinical practice.

All calculations are performed in your browser. No patient data is ever transmitted to our servers โ€” period.

What Makes Radcalcs Different

Evidence-Based

Every calculator cites the source guideline (KDIGO, ACR, ICRP, PI-RADS v2.1, CMS).

๐Ÿ“ฑ
Mobile-First

Designed for one-handed use on rounds. No pinch-zoom required.

โšก
Real-Time

Results update as you type. No submit buttons, no loading states.

๐Ÿ”’
Private by Design

All math runs in your browser. Zero patient data leaves your device.

Our Approach to Clinical Accuracy

Medical calculation tools carry real responsibility. An error in a formula implementation โ€” even a small one โ€” can affect clinical decisions. Our accuracy process is systematic and documented:

Who This Site Is For

Radcalcs is designed for licensed healthcare professionals and trainees working under supervision. Our primary audience includes:

Important: Radcalcs is not intended as a substitute for clinical judgment, formal medical advice, or direct patient evaluation. All outputs must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional in the context of the full clinical picture. Do not use this site to make clinical decisions without appropriate clinical training and supervision.

About Our Team

Radcalcs was built by a team of medical professionals and software engineers who use clinical calculators daily. Our clinical advisors include physicians across radiology, emergency medicine, cardiology, and nephrology who review calculator accuracy and ensure our content reflects current guidelines. We operate with the philosophy that medical decision support tools should be free, fast, and clinically reliable.

Our development process pairs clinical expertise with rigorous software implementation. Every formula is reviewed by a clinician in the relevant specialty before publication. When guidelines update, our clinical reviewers flag the change and the formula is revised against the new primary source.

Editorial Policy

All content on Radcalcs is reviewed against current peer-reviewed guidelines before publication. When guidelines update, we revise our tools and content within 90 days of the published update. We cite primary sources (original derivation studies and current guidelines) rather than secondary sources. If you identify an error, please contact us โ€” we investigate all reports within 48 hours and issue corrections.
