From chalkboard, slides, and paper to e‐learning: How computing technologies have transformed anatomical sciences education
Until the late‐twentieth century, primary anatomical sciences education was relatively unenhanced by advanced technology and dependent on the mainstays of printed textbooks, chalkboard‐ and photographic projection‐based classroom lectures, and cadaver dissection laboratories. But over the past three decades, diffusion of innovations in computer technology transformed the practices of anatomical education and research, along with other aspects of work and daily life. Increasing adoption of first‐generation personal computers (PCs) in the 1980s paved the way for the first practical educational applications, and visio...

How visual search relates to visual diagnostic performance: a narrative systematic review of eye-tracking research in radiology
Abstract Eye tracking research has been conducted for decades to gain understanding of visual diagnosis such as in radiology. For educational purposes, it is important to identify visual search patterns that are related to high perceptual performance and to identify effective teaching strategies. This review of eye-tracking literature in the radiology domain aims to identify visual search patterns associated with high perceptual performance. Databases PubMed, EMBASE, ERIC, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science were searched using ‘visual perception’ OR ‘eye tracking’ AND ‘radiology’ and synonyms. Two aut...

Quantitative clinical nuclear cardiology, part 2: Evolving/emerging applications
This article discusses evolving methods to measure myocardial blood flow with positron emission tomography and single-photon emission computed tomography. Novel quantitative assessments of myocardial viability, microcalcification and in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis and cardiac amyloidosis will also be described. Lastly, we will review the potential role for artificial intelligence to improve image analysis, disease diagnosis, and risk prediction. The potential clinical role for all these novel techniques will be highlighted as well as methods to optimize their implementation. (J Nucl Cardiol 2020)

A hands-on introduction to medical physics and radiation therapy for middle school students.
Abstract Lesson plans were developed to present concepts of medical physics and radiation therapy to a middle school audience. These workshop learning units relied on hands-on participation and collaboration within student groups to acquaint students with computed tomography simulation and treatment planning processes. These lesson plans were delivered at two different educational outreach programs targeted at student groups that have traditionally been underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The lesson plans are scheduled to be delivered at a third program in the futur...

Imaging individuals with obesity
Medical imaging is integral to the diagnosis and management of the co-morbidities associated with obesity. While individuals with obesity are increasingly imaged within Medical Radiation Science practice, identifying and understanding the challenges of imaging patients with obesity is an essential requirement for all Medical Radiation Practitioners (MRPs). This Continuing Medical Education article introduces key concepts related to imaging this patient group, explores technical considerations and system limitations within planar radiography, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine (NM), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ...

A practical guide for paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PiDRLs)
This guide was designed to provide a foundation for developing paediatric diagnostic reference levels (PiDRLs) for conventional radiography. In principle, the calculation of diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) is recommended for diagnostic x-ray imaging examinations for radiosensitive patients, such as paediatric patients. PiDRLs are fundamentally important when considering dose optimisation in diagnostic radiology, computed tomography and interventional radiology for paediatric patients. DRLs can assist to point to non-optimised practices and the improvement of paediatric dose optimisation.

Assessing the impact of 3D image segmentation workshops on anatomical education and image interpretation: A prospective pilot study
AbstractThree-dimensional (3D) segmentation, a process involving digitally marking anatomical structures on cross-sectional images such as computed tomography (CT), and 3D printing (3DP) are being increasingly utilized in medical education. Exposure to this technology within medical schools and hospitals remains limited in the United Kingdom. M3dicube UK, a national medical student, and junior doctor-led 3DP interest group piloted a 3D image segmentation workshop to gauge the impact of incorporating 3D segmentation technology on anatomical education. The workshop, piloted with medical students and doctors within the United...

Modeling Medical Education: The Impact of Three-Dimensional Printed Models on Medical Student Education in Plastic Surgery
Conclusion: 3D-printed models demonstrated an improved learning experience for medical students as shown by survey. These findings suggest a potential use for 3D-printed models in medical education of craniofacial pathology and surgery.

Mythmaking in medical education and medical practice.
CONCLUSIONS: These familiar myths have maintained prominent roles in medical thinking because they represent wisdom passed down from eminent sources, they teach physiology and medical skills, and they offer physicians a sense of control in the face of uncertainty. In addition to providing scientific evidence, changing physicians' practice requires acknowledging that even meticulous care cannot always avert bad outcomes.

How Can We Show You, If You Can't See It? Trialing the Use of an Interactive Three ‐Dimensional Micro‐CT Model in Medical Education
Teaching internal structures obscured from direct view is a major challenge of anatomy education. High ‐fidelity interactive three‐dimensional (3D) micro‐computed tomography (CT) models with virtual dissection present a possible solution. However, their utility for teaching complex internal structures of the human body is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of a realis tic 3D micro‐CT interactive visualization computer model to teach paranasal sinus anatomy in a laboratory setting during pre‐clinical medical training. Year 1 (n = 79) and Year 2 (n = 59) medical students undertook sel...
