title: [Significance of CD-ROM in medicine].
abstract: The article evaluates some multimedia programs offer for computers for medicine information, teaching and learning. Information technology has the potential to revolutionize the way medicine is learned by students and practitioners. Medicine with its abundance of facts and richness of imaging techniques has always been adopting new technologies to improve teaching and training. As a natural consequence, the use of computer-based multimedia technology is generally increasing in medicine. Especially the use of interactive multimedia technology seems promising to improve training and education and increase accessability of highly specific material. It can combine the best of the text-book and the video, but above all the use of interaction should produce untold benefits.
