The value of the World Wide Web for tele-education in radiology

We assessed Websites for radiological education. Of several hundred sites i dentified, 30 were randomly selected for evaluation by two groups of observ ers. All Web pages were rated with respect to time required to access the i nformation; structure and organization of the site; image quality; and info rmation content and relevancy. Rapid access was gained to many educational radiology Websites, which contained large numbers of interesting radiologic al images of good quality. A weak point was the structure and organization of the sites. The greatest variability in ratings was found in the informat ion content and relevancy of the Websites.
