Revolutionizing radiology education: exploring innovative teaching methods

Izzet Altun et al. Abdom Radiol (NY). .

Abstract

The field of radiology education is undergoing a paradigm shift due to technological advancements and the increasing complexity of medical imaging. Traditional didactic teaching methods are progressively being supplemented or replaced by innovative pedagogical approaches that enhance engagement, competency, and clinical preparedness. This review examines the evolution of radiology education, highlighting novel teaching methodologies such as simulation-based training, artificial intelligence assisted learning, virtual and augmented reality, flipped classrooms, and case-based learning. Furthermore, this manuscript discusses the challenges of integrating these methodologies into radiology curricula and explores potential future directions in radiology education.

Keywords: Active learning; Flipped classroom; Radiology education; Teaching methods.
