A Digital Breast Imaging Teaching File
Abstract
Because of inefficient utilization of current mammography teaching facilities and existing deficiencies in training resources for radiologists, there is a need to supplement or replace the traditional film-based method of training. The purpose of this research is to develop a digital breast imaging teaching file (DBITF) as an interactive training tool for learning and continuing education for radiologists. Two hypotheses were investigated: (1) a comprehensive DBITF can be designed and implemented using current technology, and (2) this DBITF's interactive response-driven type of instruction is more effective than the traditional 'show and tell' type of instruction used with film-based teaching files.
