Presenter(s):
Raisa Lev and Dr. L. Stein McGill University, Montreal, Canada
Abstract:
The Molson Medical Informatics Project is a multi-faceted project at McGill University in Montreal. Under its wing, the students develop web-based materials for medical teaching and learning. The Radiological Anatomy site (http://sprojects.mmip.mcgill.ca/radiology/) was initially designed to complement the teaching of Anatomy and Radiology at McGill. The site quickly expanded to provide easy access to the basic radiological information to medical students, residents and physicians. For students the site is a learning tool, for the rest it is a teaching tool or a review. The images were organized in categories corresponding to McGillís integrated curriculum.
The images are organized under the headings of the McGill Medicine Units:
In parentheses, the corresponding regions of the body are given for those who are not familiar with the McGill's curriculum.
The radiological images were obtained from the Teaching files at the Royal Victoria Hospital. An AGFA digital camera was used to photograph the images. In addition to a review of basic Radiology, the site contains quizzes to assess the strengths and the weaknesses of the user.
Dr. L. Stein, the Chief of Radiology at the Royal Victoria Hospital, supervised the project. He is one of the principal instructors of Radiology at the Faculty of Medicine. I would like to thank Dr. L. Stein for his expertise and guidance. The project was possible thanks to the support of the Molson Foundation and a generous donation by AGFA.:
