Interactive medical training system

摘要

A computer-based medical training system is provided which interactively engages the student. The training system is Web-based and presents the materials being taught in the format of a patient chart familiar to medical professionals, and containing teaching materials such as lab reports, diagnostic images and general medical information not usually found in a case study analysis and patient chart. In a diagnostic medical imaging embodiment the student is presented with information on the full spectrum of diagnostic imaging modalities which may be applied to a given pathology. The training system maintains the interest of the student by providing animated graphics of the principles being taught. The learning of the student is continually validated and reinforced by periodic tests following the teaching of individual lessons within the course of training.
