Summary
The flipped classroom (FC) model significantly improved radiology residents' practical skills and satisfaction compared to lecture-based (LB) learning. This innovative approach enhances learning ability and efficiency in radiology residency training.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Radiology Training
Background:
- The flipped classroom (FC) model shifts traditional teacher-centric education to student-centered learning.
- Limited research exists on applying the FC model to radiology residency programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the FC model in radiology residency training.
- To compare learning ability, efficiency, and satisfaction between FC and lecture-based (LB) groups.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of radiology residents (nervous system sub-group) from July 2018 to July 2023.
- Comparison of examination scores and subjective evaluations between FC (n=67) and LB (n=60) groups.
Main Results:
- FC group showed significantly higher practical examination scores (P=0.001).
- FC group reported significantly improved learning ability and higher overall satisfaction (P<0.05).
- Higher ratings for "good teaching," "generic skills," and "appropriate assessment" in the FC group.
Conclusions:
- The FC teaching model is a feasible and effective method for radiology residency.
- FC enhances residents' learning ability, efficiency, and satisfaction with teaching quality.

Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

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...

298
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...

Description
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...

German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen (1845–1923) was experimenting with electrical current when he discovered that a mysterious and invisible "ray" would pass through his flesh but leave an outline of his bones on a screen coated with a metal compound. In 1895, Röntgen made the first durable record of the internal parts of a living human: an "X-ray" image (as it came to be called) of his wife’s hand. Scientists worldwide quickly began their own experiments with...

Kidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) StudiesKidney, Ureter, and Bladder (KUB) studies are standard diagnostic imaging procedures used to assess the anatomy of the urinary system. They are commonly utilized for patients experiencing abdominal pain or urinary symptoms. By using a simple X-ray of the abdomen, KUB studies can reveal structural and pathological abnormalities within the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These studies are particularly valuable in diagnosing kidney stones, urinary...
