Digital image databasing.

Abstract

A previous two-part article by Simon Brown described the acquisition, editing, compression and initial storage of digital images taken in the clinical studio. Due to the higher-than-expected demand for this clinical service, additional factors had to be considered when dealing with large numbers of images. These included storage on writable compact disc (CD) drives and a system for retrieving images from these devices which was flexible enough to handle the requirements of different specialities and be usable by all medical illustration staff.

Clinical case-based multimedia tutorials as a solution to some problems facing medical education.

Medical education faces many challenges as curricula become crowded and teacher numbers fall. In addition, there are moves to reduce factual overload and to concentrate more on pathophysiological principles illustrated by relevant clinical cases. We describe one means of addressing these problems, using computer-aided learning programs which are based on clinical cases, are interactive and which incorporate multimedia elements. These CD-ROM programs include student assessments, a resource of background material and support self-managed and distance learning.
