Abstract

This module was created to supplement the traditional learning methods that senior medical students, first-year radiology residents, and residents in other specialties employ to learn the fundamentals of radiologic image interpretation. It is part of an ongoing project entitled Diagnostic Imaging Fundamentals (DIF), with each module covering a unique topic. This module covers brain vascular anatomy, common imaging modalities, and imaging characteristics of brain vascular pathologies. This module has been designed for team-based learning and consists of advance-preparation reading material, in-class individual and group readiness assurance tests, and a group application exercise. Students are evaluated both individually and as groups. These DIF modules are designed primarily for group learning and are well suited for the academic setting. The feedback we received from first-year radiology residents was 100% positive, and the most frequent remark used by learners in their comments was "very helpful." Our limited feedback suggests that the level of material is appropriate for trainees at or above their final year of medical school. We are confident that this module will benefit students and residents who are eager to learn the fun...Continue Reading

Blood Brain Barrier

The blood brain barrier is a border that separates blood from cerebrospinal fluid. Discover the latest search on this highly selective semipermeable membrane here.

Blood Brain Barrier Chips

The blood brain barrier (BBB) is comprised of endothelial cells that regulate the influx and outflux of plasma concentrations. Lab-on-a-chip devices allow scientists to model diseases and mechanisms such as the passage of therapeutic antibodies across the BBB. Discover the latest research on BBB chips here.
