Radiological Learning Resources

These links are to a few web sites that contain teaching files,   or even complete lectures,   on various topics within radiology.    A multitude of radiological sites exist,   these are just the few that I feel are most useful.    I have the luxury of viewing these sites with a network connection, and not over telephone lines.    The dilema is speed verses quality images.    With the use of the network,   I would much rather have the quality images.



Teaching Files
  1. University of California, San Diego, Neuroradiology Teaching File
    Almost 200 cases (3/11/99) are available to view.    All Cases have text discussions,  some with differential lists.    A few cases have pathology.    The "Text Syllabus" area provides succinct paragraphs on various areas of neuroradiology.    One could spend hours learning here or quickly reference for an answer to a specific question.

  2. University of Alabama at Birmingham, Radiology Teaching File

  3. More than just Neuroradiology.    The diversity,  however,  decreases depth relative to the UCSD site.    For example,  mammography cases a few,  but include types of cases encountered on the Radiology in-service exam.    The only conventional radiographic images are scannograms from CT scans.


  4. University of North Carolina,   Department of Radiology,  Teaching File

  5. Authored by the same person that authored the UAB site,   and therefore very similar.   (The mammography sections are identical)    Less extensive than the UAB site.

  6. Scottish Radiological Society Home Page

  7. Cleaver reference to the Television show the X-FILES.    Teaching File with good discussions covering many areas.    Presented as unkowns,   with history,   and occasional additional exams.    At least in the afternoon,   when I visited (night time in Scotland),   Images were quick to download inspite of the Trans-Atlantic Crossing.    Tutorials offer lecture type presentation on various topics.    Tutorials are very well put together,   with diagrams and quality images.    A quality WEB site.

  8. Centre d'Imagerie Diagnostique,  Teaching File

  9. This is private hospital in the Switzerland, near the shores of Lake Geneva.    Most of their images are MRI,  ultrasound,   and CT,  with few conventional films.    The images are high quality,   well documented,  but a little on the small side.    Many cases are "probable" and unproven.


  10. Case Western Reserve,  Department of Radiology

  11. Many cases in diverse areas are available to view.    Images can be enlarged.    All cases have text discussions with references.    Obviously the site is continuously being updated.    I particullarly like the shells and plants in the Children's Corner.

  12. Laurie Imaging Center,   Neuroradiology Teaching File

  13. The Medical Imaging Center is the result of a collaborative effort between the hospitals of New Brunswick and the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.    The teaching file is all MRI,   with quality images.    A database format presents a large number of cases.    Little text describes findings.    Image quality is good.

  14. Department of Radiology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School

  15. Cases can be found here.    They can be viewed as either knowns or unknowns,   follwed by a discussion with marked images.    These cases come from a searchable database.    The site also has an area devoted to imaging pathways as unkowns.    Many of the images are conventional images, a rarity on the internet.    They are rare for a reason however, quality is suboptimal unless file size is unreasonable.    Even when enlarging images,   findings can be elusive.    Even more options are available.   The entire web site is very large.

  16. University of Pennsylvania, Case of the Week Archive

  17. A growing archive containing generally large images for easy viewing.    Weekly cases added,   but the archive lags behind the current case.    All cases have discussions,   but not all with references.    The Library contains a list of Radiologic Journals,   many of which offer entire text free via

  18. McGill University, Montreal Canada, Radiology Teaching File
    The interface is pleasant,  and would be greatly enhanced by larger images.    The images are generally too small to provide a reasonable opportunity to make a diagnosis of the unkowns.    The number of cases is relatively low, but the site offers the user the opportunity to submit cases to the file.


  19. Laboratoire d'Informatique MÈdicale de la FacultÈ de MÈdecine de Rennes 1

  20. HUGE number of cases for viewing.    Unfortunately text was originally done in French,   and translation is computerized and poor.    Images can be enlarged,  but Trans-Atlantic downloads can be very slow.



    Many more very good WEB sites for radiology exist.    I will hopefully add more as I find them.    If you know of one that should be listed,  please email me.    Adam Morgan M.D. adam.morgan@uchsc.edu. Last Updated 3/12/99.
