Computer-based exercises using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) viewing software enhanced active learning in a radiologic anatomy course. Interactive group work with real clinical data improved student engagement and overall course ratings.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Radiologic Anatomy
  • Medical Imaging Technology

Background:

  • Traditional lecture-based formats may not fully engage students in complex subjects like radiologic anatomy.
  • Active learning strategies are crucial for effective medical education.
  • Integrating real-world clinical data can enhance understanding of anatomical structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To implement and evaluate computer-based exercises for active learning in an introductory Radiologic Anatomy course.
  • To assess the effectiveness of using Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) datasets and viewing software for anatomical education.
  • To compare student engagement and outcomes with previous lecture-only formats.

Main Methods:

  • Medical students utilized DICOM datasets from a hospital Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) on networked desktop computers.

  • Small groups of students used iPACS viewer software to analyze clinical cases and annotate anatomical structures.
  • Instructor remotely monitored and displayed group work using SynchronEyes software for sequential presentation.

    • Main Results:

    • Students successfully completed assigned tasks with minimal instruction using the iPACS viewer.
    • The interactive component received high student ratings, contributing to higher overall course evaluations.
    • Course ratings improved compared to previous years that relied solely on lectures.

    Conclusions:

    • DICOM viewing software effectively facilitates learning radiologic anatomy from authentic clinical datasets.
    • Group-based interactive exercises are powerful tools for stimulating student learning in radiologic anatomy.
    • This approach enhances student engagement and improves educational outcomes in radiologic anatomy.
