Description
This user-friendly DVD-ROM is a remarkable learning tool for orthopaedists, radiologists, and trainees, and clinicians involved in diagnosing trauma in the emergency room. With over 1,600 radiographs, the program opens by covering the most important skeletal landmarks in normal x-rays. It then presents the most important pathologic findings in a training format.
The main feature of this DVD-ROM is a simulation of the diagnostic process at the light box. The simulation provides hundreds of cases that challenge the viewer to either determine that the image is normal or that it in fact shows signs of trauma. The program provides valuable feedback on responses.
