Abstract:
Advances in the field of computer technology have facilitated the development of computer-assisted instruction. In this paper we present an interactive computer-based MR teaching system for education in radiology. Our program contains 120 teaching files. Various MR sequences can be displayed and compared to conventional X-ray images, CT, angiography and scintigraphy. Using a text field, additional clinical and diagnostic hints are offered. This teaching file can be easily upgraded and distributed on CD-ROM. Furthermore, we compare computer-assisted teaching in general to other conventional instruction media.

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...
