IMPORTANT: This Interactive
Radiology
program runs well on a PC using Netscape. If, however, you
are using a Mac to do these exercises, you must change your browser
to Internet Explorer.
The purpose of these radiology exercises is to develop
your facility for correlating 3-D gross anatomic structures with the 2-D
representations generated by all imaging modalities. Your clinical
radiology
experience will teach you the clinical uses of imaging techniques. In this
course, you use the cadaver or a living body as a tool for understanding
anatomical relationships.
The screen is split in halves: the left side is the
"text"
and on the right is the "image". The text usually begins with a thumbnail
graphic or icon and followed by directions or questions that assist you
in exploring the image.
Directions:
-
Click on the thumbnail graphic in the text. This activates
a larger image on the right which is an interactive image from the Digital
Anatomist atlas.
-
Read the text and reason out answers to any questions
posed.
-
In the interactive atlas image, you can click on the various
structures to verify their identities. The pointer becomes a clock icon
when you click on a structure in an atlas image, but as soon as the
structure
is identified it becomes a pointer again for subsequent
clicking.
-
Not all answers are provided but you can verify answers to
most of the questions by clicking on the highlighted "Click here for
answer"
instruction.
-
When you are satisfied that you understand the material,
move on to the next section or case and click on the next thumbnail
icon.
Please note that only a limited number of structures can
be outlined in each image. The overlap of contours would be very
confusing.
Therefore it is necessary to click first on the small graphic in the left
hand side of the screen in order to retrieve the copy of the interactive
image in which structures relating to the set of questions are
outlined.
