title: [HNORAD].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  New media are gaining importance in undergraduate as well as postgraduate and continued medical education. We aimed to create an interactive educational program for imaging diseases of the ear, nose and throat (ENT).
  
  
  METHODS
  Cases and images representing clinical routine were collected, arranged by content and graphically presented according to instructional criteria. Undergraduate students participating in the project used an authoring system to generate case studies, which were then published at http://www.HNORAD.de.
  
  
  RESULTS
  HNORAD is an interdisciplinary teaching program offering more than 100 classical disease presentations. Three systematic indices offer a choice of instructional approach. Apart from typical images, the information presented includes patient history, clinical findings, imaging findings as described by a board-qualified radiologist, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and internet links. Elements of the radiologist's report are linked with the images in such a way that the structure or finding described can be interactively highlighted. An evaluation index allows proficiency testing in self study and as a part of taught courses.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HNORAD is a valuable resource for students, ENT surgeons and radiologists at the undergraduate, postgraduate and CME level for self study as well as for course work.
