Medical Imaging is a new teaching and learning resource developed by "The University of Melbourne Department of Radiology" to provide medical students with an understanding of clinical radiology, but it is also appropriate for other groups, including physiotherapy students, postgraduate medical & surgical trainees, and nurses. It covers the clinical role of radiology in general and specialist adult medicine and surgery, women's health and children's and adolescent's health. About 130 topics describe the role of radiology in common clinical presentations, and the important radiological features of common or important diseases.

The emphasis is in placing radiology in clinical context. In addition a generic section outlines the principles of image generation, image interpretation, risks, benefits and costs, and includes a substantial section on nuclear medicine. A terminology section provides definitions including those of commonly used abbreviations. A library of annotated normal radiological images is included which can be viewed in a self-test mode.

It is delivered using a Web browser interface on CD-ROM, and comprises approximately 220,000 words and 2,000 images which are presented as enlargeable thumbnails.
