Abstract Background Radiology integration into medical anatomy courses is well established, but there a paucity of literature on integrating virtual dissection cadaveric laboratories. Virtual the digital images touchscreen visualization tables. The purpose this pilot study was to investigate feasibility first-year cadaver-based course and assess students’ overall attitude towards new technology. Methods All students in medicine at single school participated ( n = 292). Six laboratories,...
Educators must select the best tools to teach anatomy future physicians and traditionally, cadavers have always been considered "gold standard" simulator for living anatomy. However, new advances in technology radiology created teaching tools, such as virtual dissection, which provide students with learning opportunities. Virtual dissection is a novel way of studying human through patient computed tomography (CT) scans. Through touchscreen technology, can work together groups "virtually...
Improving equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) within Canadian radiology is critical for optimal patient care to reduce health disparities. Although there are increasing national EDI initiatives, a paucity of resources available assist departments as the culture evolves faculty institutions expected incorporate in their practice. We present practical recommendations departments, training programs, individual radiologists wishing or mandated improve workplace. Actionable strategies creating...
Segmentation of the wrist bones in CT images has been frequently used different clinical applications including arthritis evaluation, bone age assessment and image-guided interventions. The major challenges include non-uniformity spongy textures tissue as well narrow inter-bone spaces. In this work, we propose an automatic segmentation technique for based on a statistical model that captures shape pose variations joint across 60 example wrists at nine positions. To establish correspondences...
Radiology has been identified as one of the medical specialties with least gender, racial, and ethnic diversity. Despite demonstrated benefits gender race diversity in medicine industry, including innovation, empathy improved patient outcomes, radiology Canada is still lacking. In 2019, women represented around 63% current graduates. However, within Canadian practices, only 31.6% radiologists are women. Women also underrepresented academic positions widening gap present at higher ranks,...
There is a lack of evidence for developing radiology mobile apps medical students. This study identifies the characteristics which students perceive as most valuable to teaching with (m-learning).An online anonymous survey was administered second- fourth-year at single institution. The survey, based on established theoretical framework, collected students' preferred content organization, presentation, and delivery strategies. Copeland method used rank student preferences 2-tailed t test...
Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the status radiology quality improvement programs in a variety selected nations worldwide. Methods: A survey developed by select members International Economics Committee American College Radiology on and distributed committee members. Members responded behalf their country. 51-question asked about 12 different initiatives which were grouped into 4 themes: departments, users, equipment, outcomes. Respondents reported whether designated type...
To determine medical students' and radiologists' attitude toward radiology electives at a distributed school identify specific areas for improvement.During single academic year, both students faculty preceptors were surveyed anonymously following senior elective. The survey was based on an established theoretical framework studying the educational environment which takes into account domains: (1) goal orientation, (2) organization/regulation, (3) relationships. Mann-Whitney tests performed...
Demographic data collected about Canadian radiologists and trainees has been limited primarily to binary gender geographic location. The purpose of this study was investigate: (1) demographic characteristics trainees; (2) types diversity important radiologists; (3) relationship radiologist demographics practice characteristics; (4) years in practice, (YIP).French English surveys were distributed via email through radiology associations social media. Frequency counts variables calculated,...
Introduction: Prior studies on Canadian physicians' income have demonstrated a gender pay gap (GPG); however, there is paucity of data in the Radiology specialty. A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine if practicing radiologists' self-reported related gender, controlling for demographic and work variables. Methods: English French online surveys were distributed by email social media radiologists trainees (May-July 2021). The association between Gender (controlling Ethnicity...
