Effectiveness of Methodology of Teaching in Radiology Imaging Technology.

India, being a developing nation, has more than one and a half billion population. With the increase in population, health facility is required and radiology has become the backbone in disease diagnosis. So, the demand of well trained and skilled professionals is on the rise. Teaching methodology of an academic book is different from teaching a skill which requires an active learning with various factors. A multicentred study was conducted on undergraduate students of radiography using questionnaires related to anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical correlation of disease, understanding subject depth and utilising it during imaging, image interpretation, using android and iOS, applications for learning, daily quiz, minimum hours of training required, whether student is able to scan independently, use of inter-institutional common web based classes, guidance from faculty audience response technique, participant observation rather than simply observing from a distance. Students to apply tailored techniques for individual patients. Traditional method of reading textbooks and one-way lecture teaching is ineffective. Nowadays, various educational formats are being used in teaching, cost-effective education so as to improve learning outcomes we need to implement technological advancements in teaching methodology. The research and literature in the field of teaching methodology in Medical Imaging till date is less in the developing nations with the fact that there is no dearth of medical imaging professionals worldwide. The objective of the present study is to explore the best teaching methodology and to bring out the technique by which an undergraduate student can learn easily the art of radiography.
