A Web-Based CBIR-Assisted Learning Tool for Radiology Education - Anytime and Anyplace

In this paper, we propose a web-based learning tool for assisting and enhancing radiology education. Central to the learning tool is our recently developed content-based image retrieval (CBIR) system for medical image databases. In contrast to the leaming resourcesavailable through traditional radiology curricula, our leaming tool represents a more flexible, instantly updateable, and a richer learning environment that can be used anytime and anyplace. Expertsfrom diverse disciplines -- radiology, computer vision, and education -- had to pool their knowledge and resources together to bring about the development of this leaming tool.
