THE VIRTUAL HOSPITAL - A NEW PARADIGM FOR LIFELONG LEARNING IN RADIOLOGY

Medical training in radiology should be viewed as a continuum that beg ins in medical school and proceeds throughout the years in practice. U nfortunately, there are significant barriers to providing continuing m edical education. One key barrier is the physical separation between t he information source and the workplace. A multimedia medical library distributed via wide area networks has been developed that provides ne eded information at the point of use. The distribution software (Mosai c) that makes this project possible is found in the public domain.
