The initial experiences of a four-week clinical undergraduate attachment in diagnostic radiology are described. The course is divided into (1) a series of prepared lecture programmes which cover aspects of diagnostic radiology in a systematic manner, (2) experience in hospital X-ray departments, observing special investigations and routine reporting, attending clinicoradiological conferences and receiving informal and formal tuition from radiologists, and (3) visits to specialised radiological and other imaging departments, namely ultrasound, nuclear medicine, neuroradiology and paediatrics. The aims of the courses are: (i) to provide a means of teaching clinical subjects and pathology in a dimension which crosses the tightly compartmentalised undergraduate curriculum; (ii) to instil basic principles of radiological interpretation, (iii) to teach undergraduates how to use the facilities of diagnostic imaging departments effectively and efficiently when they have qualified; (iv) to increase interest in the specialty, and insight into student opinion. There are difficulties involved in this large teaching commitment, for instance, understaffing, and the development of the course has been geared to counteracting these problems.
本文描述了为期四周的临床本科放射诊断实习的初步经历。该课程分为三个部分：（1）一系列精心准备的讲座，系统地涵盖放射诊断学的各个方面；（2）在医院X光科室实习，观察特殊检查和常规报告，参加临床放射学会议，并接受放射科医生的非正式和正式指导；（3）参观专门的放射学和其他影像科室，即超声、核医学、神经放射学和儿科。该课程的目标是：（i）提供一种跨学科教学临床科目和病理学的方法，突破本科课程严格划分的界限；（ii）灌输放射学解释的基本原则；（iii）教导本科生在获得资格后如何有效利用放射诊断科室的设备；（iv）提高对该专业的兴趣，并深入了解学生的意见。如此大规模的教学任务存在一些困难，例如人员不足，而课程的开发正是为了应对这些问题。
