introduction: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of lecture and teaching terminology methods on learning anatomy in radiology students. methods: fifty freshmen were randomly divided into two groups: control and experimental. the control group was taught through traditional method and the experimental group via teaching anatomy concepts and terminologies. students were evaluated th...

This mage-based series comprises of a quiz pertaining to the identification of salient and important anatomical structures and landmarks expected to be seen at a given level on the computed tomography (CT). The representative image is followed by a series of images showing the examples of different commonly encountered pathological entities that can be seen at this level in a routine clinical p...

Preclinical research is the initial prerequisite to determining the efficacy of an implant for eventual translation into the clinical arena. Once a spinal implant has been validated through benchtop mechanical testing, analytical modeling, and in vitro evaluation, it is often useful to conduct an in vivo study using animal models to assess the interactions of the living tissue environment surro...

The development of deep brain stimulation has revolutionized care for patients with movement disorders like Parkinson’s disease. Many areas of science contributed to this technology but one area, the use of animal models, has been cited as vital. We review these claims as well as the history of the discoveries that eventually led to deep brain stimulation in an attempt to ascertain: 1) the cont...

This mage based series comprises of a quiz pertaining to the identification of salient anatomical structures expected to be seen at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) followed by examples of multiple representative pathologies that can be seen at the same level in a routine clinical setting. It is expected that this will improve confidence of nuclear physicians in interpretation of t...

In this series we present a quiz about identification of salient and important anatomical landmarks present at a given level on the computed tomography (CT) image. The representative image is followed by further images showing examples of various commonly encountered pathologies that can be seen at this level in clinical practice. Readers are expected to identify highlighted structures in all t...
