Abstract

Teaching files are common in radiology. Although there is an increasing role of digital technology in radiology departments, today's teaching files have not yet seen the application of this new technology. This may have been due in part to poor or incomplete implementation in many commercial software packages. We have demonstrated that by utilizing free software from the Internet, a web-based teaching file system, which is easy to use, low cost, and secure, can be created.
