Rationale and Objectives: The primary role of radiology in the preclinical setting is the use of imaging to improve students' understanding of anatomy. Many currently available Web-based anatomy programs include either suboptimal or overwhelming levels of detail for medical students.Our objective was to develop a user-friendly software program that anatomy instructors can completely tailor to match the desired level of detail for their curriculum, meets the unique needs of the first- and the second-year medical students, and is compatible with most Internet browsers and tablets.Materials and Methods: RadStax is a Web-based application developed using free, open-source, ubiquitous software. RadStax was first introduced as an interactive resource for independent study and later incorporated into lectures. First- and second-year medical students were surveyed for quantitative feedback regarding their experience.Results: RadStax was successfully introduced into our medical school curriculum. It allows the creation of learning modules with labeled multiplanar (MPR) image sets, basic anatomic information, and a self-assessment feature. The program received overwhelmingly positive feedback from students. Of 115 students surveyed, 87.0% found it highly effective as a study tool and 85.2% reported high user satisfaction with the program.Conclusions: RadStax is a novel application for instructors wishing to create an atlas of labeled MPR radiologic studies tailored to meet the specific needs their curriculum. Simple and focused, it provides an interactive experience for students similar to the practice of radiologists.This program is a robust anatomy teaching tool that effectively aids in educating the preclinical medical student.
放射学在临床前教学中的主要作用是利用影像学来提高学生对解剖学的理解。目前许多基于网络的解剖学程序对于医学生来说，要么细节水平欠佳，要么过于繁杂。我们的目标是开发一款用户友好的软件程序，解剖学教师可以根据课程所需的细节水平对其进行完全定制，满足一年级和二年级医学生的独特需求，并且与大多数互联网浏览器和平板电脑兼容。
RadStax是一款使用免费、开源且广泛应用的软件开发的基于网络的应用程序。RadStax最初作为一种用于自主学习的交互式资源被引入，后来被纳入讲座中。我们对一年级和二年级医学生进行了调查，以获取他们关于使用体验的定量反馈。
RadStax已成功引入我们的医学院课程。它允许创建带有标注的多平面（MPR）图像集、基本解剖学信息以及自我评估功能的学习模块。该程序获得了学生们压倒性的积极反馈。在接受调查的115名学生中，87.0%的学生认为它作为学习工具非常有效，85.2%的学生对该程序表示高度满意。
对于希望创建一本根据课程特定需求定制的标注MPR放射学研究图谱的教师来说，RadStax是一款新颖的应用程序。它简单且重点突出，为学生提供了类似于放射科医生实践的交互式体验。该程序是一种强大的解剖学教学工具，能有效地帮助教育临床前医学生。
