Diagnostic radiology in an integrated curriculum: evaluation of student appraisal
1Department of Diagnostic Radiology, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, United Arab Emirates University, Al Ain.
Rationale And Objectives:
This study determined student perceptions of the effectiveness of an integrated radiology curriculum in a 6-year undergraduate medical school program.
Materials And Methods:
Student perceptions of the effectiveness of an integrated radiology curriculum were assessed with a self-administered questionnaire that was developed in house and consisted of Likert-type and open-ended items. The questionnaire was distributed to 1997-1998 and 1998-1999 cohorts of 2nd- to 6th-year medical students. Quantitative data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics.
Results:
Ninety-nine of 173 students (57% response) returned completed questionnaires. Overall, students perceived integrated radiology teaching as satisfactorily achieved and useful in facilitating learning. Compared with students in the 2nd and final years of undergraduate medical education and training, those in years 3-5 considered integrated radiology teaching to be very effective. Results of the survey suggest future modifications to improve the effectiveness of integrated radiology teaching.
Conclusion:
Radiology can be successfully integrated into modern medical curricula. Student comments indicate the need to structure and organize the integrated teaching better and to introduce it earlier in the medical school curriculum.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
