Student decisions about careers are determined not only by what students know, but also b...

background: inadequate use of these techniques probably increases the risks of radiography. this study has been accomplished in 2016 to determine medical students and residents of birjand university of medical science awareness levels of principles of protection in radiologic imaging. methods: in this descriptive research, all medical students, including externs, interns, radiology residents an...

Dear Editor, As a follow-up to an earlier study comparing the attitudes of fi rst year undergraduate medical students following the introduction of a new radiology curriculum in 2008 with their clinical seniors who did not have an early exposure to radiology;1 we again surveyed this same cohort of fi rst year students who are now in their fi fth year in 2013 to see if their attitudes towards ra...

This paper presents the pilot evaluation of a laboratory classroom simulation of radiology networking technology. The simulation focused on educating undergraduate students in applying radiology Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) in a networked environment, based on the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) standard. The laboratory exercise structure enables stu...

There is an anecdotal need to increase radiology education in medical school. Surveys were distributed to three medical schools, with a respondency of 55 %. Over 91 % of students believed there should be more radiology teaching in medical school. Students prefer different methods of teaching, lectures, group learning, and web-based modules.
