Abstract: Introduction: Introducing radiology in the pre-clinical curriculum can enhance anatomy education. The need of the hour is a transparent vertical pathway that can be logically followed through the preclinical and clinical years of training. The aim of this paper is developing an integrated radiological anatomy module and evaluating its effectiveness.

Background: One of the greatest developments in modern medicine is the strides taken in radiology. Today, thanks to high-tech devices like computer tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound, a noninvasive glimpse into the human interior has been made possible. These recent developments have revolutionized how doctors see anatomy. To keep pace with this progress, many medical school anatomy curriculums have undergone a facelift. In these new curriculums, radiology has been presented as a practical and sufficient alternative tool for learning anatomy. This study, therefore, aimed to determine the extent of the use of radiologic images in the teaching of anatomy in Ethiopian medical schools. Methods: An online questionnaire was used to collect, compile and analyze data from anatomy instructors in Ethiopian medical schools. Results:The survey showed that 55.9% of the instructors used radiologic images of one form or another in their teaching. However, it also revealed radiological images comprise <5% of the total images used in teaching. The majority (73.5%) of the instructors lacked any prior training or coursework in radiologic anatomy. Despite full-time radiology faculties existing in the schools, a relationship between the anatomy and radiology department is virtually unheard of. Conclusion:The curriculum currently in use in Ethiopian medical schools is designed in a way both vertical and horizontal integration of the traditional subjects are achieved. This way, the introduction of clinical medicine early will provide context and relevance to the learning of basic science. Despite the curriculum's emphasis, we have observed limitations in the degree of integration of anatomy and radiology.
