The Vital Role of Radiology in the Medical School Curriculum

The Impact of a one day Undergraduate Radiology Course on Confidence and Performance of Medical Students in Interpreting commonly encountered Radiographs

“…It is unequivocal that medical students feel their teaching in this essential area of medicine is inadequate. (1)(2)(3) Junior doctors report "unstructured" and "inadequate" undergraduate radiology teaching resulting in a feeling of unpreparedness prior to working. (3)(4)(5) Radiology is an ever increasing, evolving specialty, playing an essential role in the patient's journey through hospital.…”

Specializing Anatomy - Developing an Integrated Radiological Anatomy Module for the First Year Medical Students

“…The 'eye of medicine' is a resource with the potential to fill such gaps between basic sciences and clinical medicine. It can provide the future doctors with a succinct and true-tolife view of the normal as well as the disease processes in a non-invasive manner [9,10]. Rengier et al, had stated that "three-dimensional imaging and post processing helps to understand difûcult anatomical structures and topographical relations in a better way" [11].…”

Medical Student Usage of the American College of Radiology Appropriateness Criteria

“…Over the past 4 decades, advances in diagnostic imaging have contributed greatly to patient care, improving our ability to detect disease, guide procedures, and deliver treatments (1). Most medical specialties now regularly use medical imaging, which has led to a substantial increase in the number of diagnostic imaging examinations performed in recent years (2,3). It is estimated that imaging services have grown at about twice the rate of other health care technologies over the past decade (4).…”
