Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: MIETHKE at 100% against Radiology Core's 24%. MIETHKE also leads on price (Free vs $9.99) and rating (5.0 vs 2.9). Radiology Core's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 1) and chart position (#85 vs unranked). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
