Numerous publications in different fields have reported that Instagram “reels,” introduced in 2020 as a short-form video feature, are more popular than image posts. These findings and our familiarity with Instagram prompted us to analyze our own data to better understand how image posts compared with reels when used in the context of radiology education.</div></div><div><h3>Materials and methods</h3><div>For each post category, metric values were extracted from the Instagram platform and analyzed as continuous variables, reported as medians with interquartile ranges (IQR).

Both images and reels received a similar number of comments, with a median of 3 comments for both (<em>p</em> &gt; 0.99). We also explored the performance differences of image post subcategories. Within images, our “You Make the Call!” (YMTC) questions (<em>n</em> = 23) displayed higher performance metrics across the board than the three other types of image posts combined (<em>n =</em> 105).
