Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound experience from the EMIT and EMITEL e-learning and e-encyclopedia projects

As part of two European Union funded projects we have developed Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound materials for e-learning and an e-encyclopedia. The e-learning modules were developed for the EMIT project which aimed to produce training and e-learning materials to facilitate core training for medical physics in the fields of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ultrasound. The training modules were based on development of skills and competencies through practical performance of key tasks. Each module included a list of competencies, structured timetable, student workbook and an image database. The e-encyclopedia was developed for the EMITEL project. The encyclopedia is aimed at MSc level or above and aims to provide extensive coverage of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound and other areas of medical physics. Each e-Encyclopedia entry includes key text, figures (images or diagrams), links to other related entries and key references or external web links.
