Quick Answer

The most repeated Radiology topics in NEET PG and INI-CET (2017–2026) are Systemic Radiology (98 questions), Fundamentals of Radiology (20 questions) and Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine (8 questions), out of 127 recalled Radiology questions from 18 papers in the Kinase bank. Systemic Radiology appeared in 17 of 18 papers.

Note: the question bank files Radiology under only 3 broad topics, so this table shows wide chapters rather than individual concepts. We have not invented finer labels; use the concept guides and PYQ pages linked below to go deeper.

Which Radiology topics are asked most?

Topics are ranked by recalled questions across NEET PG and INI-CET. "Asked in" counts the exam-year papers (out of 18 with Radiology questions) in which the topic appeared at least once; "Share" is the topic's part of all 127 Radiology questions.

#TopicQuestions (NEET PG / INI-CET)ShareAsked inYearsTrend
1Systemic Radiology98 (46 / 52)77.2%17 of 18 papers2017–2026Rising (+7.1 pts)
2Fundamentals of Radiology20 (6 / 14)15.7%9 of 18 papers2018, 2020–2022, 2024–2026Falling (-14.5 pts)

Trend = change in the topic's share of Radiology questions from 2018 to 2026 on a fitted line; ±5 percentage points or more is rising/falling. Topics with fewer than 10 questions get no label ("—"). 1 Radiology question is not yet filed under a topic and is left out of the table.

How many Radiology questions appear each year?

Radiology makes up 2.4% of all recalled questions in the bank. Its share was highest in 2017 (18 of 298 recalled questions that year), and its overall share trend since 2018 is steady (-0.7 pts). Bars differ in height partly because some years' papers were recalled more fully than others.

NEET PGINI-CET / AIIMS PGRecalled questions per calendar year; the number recalled differs by year.

What kind of Radiology questions are asked?

Our editors tag each question's format (a question can carry several). 74 of the 127 Radiology questions (58%) have an image in the stem. The most common format tags:

  • X-ray/Radiograph50
  • Clinical Vignette46
  • CT/MRI32
  • Investigation of Choice20
  • Negative Question (EXCEPT/NOT)11
  • Match the Following3

Where can you practise these Radiology topics?

Practise the actual recalled questions on the NEET PG Radiology PYQ page and the INI-CET Radiology PYQ page, each with explanations. These concept guides cover high-yield ideas from this subject:

Image-based questions in Radiology often use these classic images:

How to read these numbers: previous-year papers are not released in full, so they are rebuilt from candidates' memory-based recalls and every question is reworded. The counts reflect Kinase's recall bank (snapshot 2026-09-30), not an official NBEMS or AIIMS subject or topic breakdown. A recalled paper can be incomplete, so compare shares rather than raw counts between years.

Methodology: Each question is counted once per exam-year, even when the same paper is mapped to several courses or tests. Where editors tagged recall provenance in a paper, untagged extra practice items are left out. See the all-subjects page for the full method, the list of papers and the cross-subject top 25.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most repeated Radiology topics in NEET PG and INI-CET?▼
In Kinase's recall bank (2017–2026), the most repeated Radiology topics are Systemic Radiology (98 questions), Fundamentals of Radiology (20 questions), Radiotherapy and Nuclear Medicine (8 questions). Systemic Radiology was asked in 17 of 18 papers.
How many Radiology questions come in NEET PG and INI-CET?▼
Kinase has 127 recalled Radiology questions from 18 papers: 58 from NEET PG and 69 from INI-CET / AIIMS PG. That is 2.4% of all recalled questions in the bank. The per-year chart shows how the count varies with the size of each recalled paper.
Which Radiology topics appear in every paper?▼
No single Radiology topic appears in every one of the 18 papers; Systemic Radiology comes closest (17 of 18 papers).
Which Radiology topics are rising or falling?▼
Rising share since 2018: Systemic Radiology. Falling share: Fundamentals of Radiology. A trend is a change of 5 or more percentage points in the topic's share of Radiology questions.
Are these official Radiology weightage figures?▼
No. NBEMS and AIIMS do not publish topic-wise breakdowns. These counts come from memory-based recalls in the Kinase question bank, reworded by our editors, so they show what candidates remembered — a practical signal of what repeats, not an official statistic.
How should I use this list to revise Radiology?▼
Revise the topics at the top of the table first and practise their previous-year questions, then cover the rest of the subject — lower-ranked topics still appear. Use the NEET PG and INI-CET Radiology PYQ pages for practice questions with explanations.
