RAD7601

This elective is focused on the FILM archive of Howard Ansel, MD. During a career spanning 4 decades, Dr. Ansel generated an impressive collection of high-quality radiographic studies, primarily gastrointestinal. While radiology has trended towards cross-sectional imaging, a thorough understanding of 2D radiographic anatomy is still an essential part of image interpretation. The ideal student is planning for a career in diagnostic radiology. Familiarity with this archive will provide him or her with a tremendous head start in understanding the radiographic appearance of disease. The student will be provided with a workspace and a lightbox to review the FILMS in the VA Nuclear Medicine division.
