Summary
This study introduces a low-cost, web-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for radiology training. It offers medical students and residents a more active and realistic learning experience with diverse cases.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Radiology Informatics
Background:
- Current radiology training is often passive and limited in case variety.
- Traditional methods include teaching files, lectures, and workstation-based learning.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and implement a realistic, web-based radiology training simulation.
- To enhance the active learning experience for medical trainees.
Main Methods:
- Utilized an open-source dcm4chee-based PACS (Weasis) with anonymized cases.
- Integrated Weasis into a web-based reporting system using Java and MySQL.
- Established a freeware, platform-independent image database on a dedicated server.
Main Results:
- Created a low-cost, versatile, and customizable PACS simulation accessible via a webpage.
- The system allows for live case uploads, evaluation, and trainee feedback.
- Initial survey results indicate positive potential for improving training.
Conclusions:
- This tool offers a new opportunity for active and realistic radiology training.
- It can better prepare junior residents for independent call and allow senior residents to refine specialized knowledge.
- The system provides a customizable and accessible platform for enhancing radiology education.

Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body...

369
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
