摘要

No standardized, comprehensive approach for radiological image interpretation exists among medical schools in the United States of America. In order to rectify this, we outline a model aimed to help improve how medical imaging can be taught in medical schools. The VOID (Visualization, Orientation/Observation, Identification, Description) guide is a proposed universal, stepwise approach to medical image identification, interpretation, and communication. This structured guideline is aimed at building a foundation for students in early medical education. The VOID was applied to CT (Computed Tomography), MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), and x-ray modalities as integrated sessions for medical students during human anatomy laboratory. The framework developed can be easily taught, follows an easily remembered acronym, and has potential to be universally applied throughout medical education to give students an early foundation in understanding medical imaging. Student’s feedback showed positive perception using VOID during learning medical imaging. Additionally, student responses to imaging questions following a lecture regarding VOID were detailed and descriptive.
