Radiology has been espoused as an excellent tool for educating medical students since 1925. Advances in technology and PACS mean it has never been easier to demonstrate living anatomy and clinical pathology in exquisite detail to students. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of radiologic publications related to teaching medical students and its evolution through time.
A literature search was performed from inception to November 2018. The search strategies used both text words and relevant indexing related to "radiology", "medical students" and "curriculum".
3589 records were identified of which 377 were included. There was a 100 fold increase in rate of publication over time-most were expository or surveys (60%), with few truly experimental articles. Radiology was used in clinical teaching (67%) and anatomy (33%). Almost half of radiologic anatomy teaching was conducted without the input of a Radiologist. Compulsory clinical clerkships/blocks in radiology was offered infrequently (35%). Female first authorship had increased in the last decade (47%).
There is a significant increase in articles published on the role of radiology in medical student teaching in the last decade. Research in this area is required in order to investigate the role of radiology in improving the modern medical students' education.
自1925年以来，放射学一直被视为医学生教育的优秀工具。技术和PACS的进步意味着现在向学生详细展示活体解剖和临床病理学从未如此简单。本研究的目的是概述与医学生教学相关的放射学出版物及其随时间的演变。
从开始到2018年11月进行文献检索。检索策略使用了与“放射学”、“医学生”和“课程”相关的文本词和相关索引。
共识别出3589条记录，其中377条被纳入。随着时间的推移，发表率增长了100倍——大多数是说明性或调查性文章（60%），真正的实验性文章很少。放射学用于临床教学（67%）和解剖学教学（33%）。几乎一半的放射解剖学教学在没有放射科医生参与的情况下进行。很少提供放射学的必修临床实习/课程（35%）。女性第一作者在过去十年中有所增加（47%）。
在过去十年中，关于放射学在医学生教学中的作用的文章发表量显著增加。需要在这一领域进行研究，以调查放射学在改善现代医学生教育方面的作用。
