The aim of the present study was to evaluate the educational content of YouTube videos about chest radiograph interpretation.Patients and Methods: A search was made using the keywords ‘‘chest radiograph/chest x ray interpretation’’. Video characteristics and video content indices content quality index [CQI], PACEMAN index and video information and quality index [VIQI] were evaluated by two reviewers. Spearman correlation analysis and Mann Whitney U tests were performed.Results: In the study, 34 videos with a median of 11.34 1.52-51.18 minutes were evaluated. The median scores for CPI, PACEMAN, VIQI and VPI were 9.00 3.00-12.00 ; 14.50 9.00-20.00 ; 4.00 0.00-7.00 and 17.45 0.08-803.61 , respectively.
