This is an elective clerkship for 3rd and 4th year medical students. It is designed to discuss fundamentals of diagnostic image interpretation and clinical indications for imaging examinations. This clerkship is formally structured with didactic lectures on core sections including thoracic imaging, 腹部成像, neuroradiology and musculoskeletal imaging as well as a dedicated lecture to introduce ACR Appropriateness Criteria. Problem-based learning exercises, 可视化教学文件, 会议, observation of film interpretation and observation of special procedures are also included. A basic radiology review book (放射学 101: the Basics and Fundamentals of Imaging by Erkonen and Smith) will be provided. Educational material such as lectures and teaching points as well as previous medical student 演讲s are available on our educational website (Brightspace Learning System).

Four-week clerkship rotations are offered. Student sessions run from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday.

Final grade is determined by resident evaluations, observation of classroom performance, 演讲, 期末考试.

目的:

• Review relevant anatomy, pathophysiology, and imaging findings of common diseases.
• Describe relative appropriateness criteria for imaging modality of choice to solve common clinical questions.
• Learn basic plain film and CT interpretation and become familiar with other modalities.
• Become familiar with digital radiology and radiology terminology.
• Become familiar with how to interact with radiologist as a clinical colleague.
• Consider a career in radiology if interested.

Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the head and spine, 大脑血管造影, 和脊髓x光像.

目的:

• Learn the role of imaging in the diagnostic evaluation of the patients with suspected neurological or otolaryngological disease.
• Learn basic interpretation of CT of head in common and life-threatening diseases such as stroke and head trauma.
• Become familiar with MR imaging.

The student attends and participates in all neuroradiology teaching sessions and 会议. He/she is encouraged to undertake a special project during the elective, including research on and 演讲 of a topic of neuroradiologic interest.

The elective will familiarize the student with the practice of interventional radiology through active participation with the staff and residents of the Division of Interventional 放射学 (IR). Activities include participation in pre-procedure patient work-up and planning, 执行程序, 和后续的.

目的:

• Recognize cases that may benefit from diagnostic or therapeutic services offered by IR.
• 请求适当的程序.
• Be aware of necessary pre-procedural workup and post-procedural care.

A weekly vascular conference with the surgery service is given. The small faculty-to-student ratio maximizes the opportunity for one to one teaching.

The elective will expose student to 核医学 by correlation of clinical problems and diagnostic and therapeutic techniques. Methods include planar and tomographic imaging, computer image processing and quantitation, in vitro testing and radioiodine therapy of hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer. Integration of various imaging modalities (nuclear, adiographic, CT, MR and ultrasound) with patient problem is stressed.

摘要目的:

• Learn the role of 核医学 in various pathologic conditions.
• Become familiar with different modalities such as planar imaging, SPECT and PET.
• Be aware of necessary pre-procedural workup and post-procedural care for hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer.
