title: The value of the World Wide Web for tele-education in radiology.
abstract: We assessed Websites for radiological education. Of several hundred sites identified, 30 were randomly selected for evaluation by two groups of observers. All Web pages were rated with respect to time required to access the information; structure and organization of the site; image quality; and information content and relevancy. Rapid access was gained to many educational radiology Websites, which contained large numbers of interesting radiological images of good quality. A weak point was the structure and organization of the sites. The greatest variability in ratings was found in the information content and relevancy of the Websites.
