Abstract

SummaryMedical education discussions are currently very popular, and one aspect being closely scrutinized is the teaching of anatomy. The role that radiology has to play has been stressed by the Faculty of Radiologists and others.Over the last three years radiological anatomy has been taught in the second and third years at Melbourne University, closing the gap between medical physics in first year and radiology in the clinical years of the medical course. Wherever possible, the radiographs are chosen not only for the topographical content, but to include examples of applied anatomy. The students are encouraged to think, make deductions from their observations, and to anticipate the clinical situation. The experience has been encouraging, and one looks forward to future developments in teaching the undergraduate through radiology with enthusiasm. The physical facilities for accomplishing this at Melbourne University will be tremendously improved when the Anatomy School moves into a new building early next year.
