Abstract

A high quality film-based teaching file requires effort and expense to create and maintain. The effort is worthwhile because film collections are important vehicles for increasing a radiologist's personal data base of clinical experience. Expert clinical reasoning is to a large extent the process of comparing a current case to a data base of individual cases available in memory. A teaching file would be most helpful if it were available at the view box where it could be used to extend a radiologist's clinical experience. Unfortunately, a film-based file is confined to one area, usually remote from the view box. In addition, searching though a film file is difficult, the films wear out over time, and films are easily lost or stolen. Our goal is the creation of a thoracic imaging teaching file that solves these problems by providing a digital collection of images, videos, and text that can be used in the work place by many users simultaneously. The first part of this teaching file is now continuously available locally within our department and globally to users of the Internet.
