An educational hypertext system supporting radiographic image quality.
Understanding the physical and technical factors affecting image characteristics is an essential learning task in the process of optimizing radiographic image quality. The goal of the present effort is the design of a stand-alone software application acting as an educational aid to radiology residents and radiographers. The application is organized in three modules, each one offering a different approach to the learning task. The core of the system is a hypertext database management system composed of text, digitized radiographs, graphics and animations. User orientation, linking, indexing, and annotation are some of the facilities offered in pursuing topics of interest.
