This study introduces a novel method for training radiographers in computer programming and medical image processing. Students learn Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) by creating a digital subtraction angiography (DSA) package in Microsoft Excel.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Radiography Education
  • Computer Programming

Background:

  • Digital processing is transforming medical imaging modalities.
  • Information technology advancements necessitate updated radiographic teaching programs.
  • Traditional radiography education needs integration with digital skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a methodology for teaching radiographers computer programming and image processing concurrently.
  • To contextualize programming skills through practical application in medical imaging.
  • To adapt this educational approach for broader vocational use.

Main Methods:

  • Students learn Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming.
  • Programming skills are applied to develop a digital subtraction angiography (DSA) package.
