Brigham and Women's Hospital Department of Radiology is committed to the development of Internet-based educational tools, not only for the benefit of inhouse staff but also for the medical community at large. Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Our Perception Laboratory has developed Video Monitor Test Pattern Tutorials to help you assess your monitor's performance in displaying BrighamRAD gray-scale images to their best potential. You may wish to use these tools to adjust your monitor before using our online learning tools.

Teaching Cases

BrighamRAD Teaching Case Database	Searchable by anatomic area, imaging technique, and keyword. Cases available as unknowns or with diagnoses. Over 150 cases and growing.
Finding-the-Path	A problem-based guide to diagnostic imaging strategies in the emergency room.
FIRE	File of Images for Radiology Education (FIRE) presents simple radiologic teaching cases for medical students at all levels from personal teaching files of selected radiology staff at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Editors: Darrell N. Smith, MD and Kitt Shaffer, MD, PhD
SPL Case of the Month	Interesting cases from our Surgical Planning Lab. The January 1996 Case of the Month was featured in the television program "21st Century Medicine," part of the Scientific American Frontiers series on PBS.
Joint Program in Nuclear Medicine Teaching Files	Searchable by anatomic area, imaging technique, and keyword. Cases available as unknowns or with diagnoses.

Atlases

Atlas of Myocardial Perfusion SPECT	Normal studies, teaching cases, tutorials, slide shows, self-quiz, and random case.
Atlas of Brain Perfusion SPECT	Normal studies, teaching cases, tutorials, and slide shows.
JPNM PET/CT Atlas	Normal, benign pathology, and artifactual findings in ¹⁸FDG-PET and PET/CT.
SPL Anatomy Browser	An interactive neuroanatomy atlas allowing three-dimensional exploration of the brain surface, deep gray matter, and ventricles on your Mac, PC, or workstation. Great for medical students. Requires a Java-enabled browser.
Whole Brain Atlas	This extensive teaching atlas demonstrates normal anatomy (over 100 brain structures), normal functional and structural change with age, and various disease processes (cerebrovascular, neoplastic, degenerative, and inflammatory/infectious) by relating clinical information to MR, CT, and SPECT images. Both Java and non-Java navigators facilitate browsing the image datasets by allowing users to choose anatomic level, image method, and studies across time. MPEG cine sequences show 3D vascular anatomy and time-lapse lesion evolution in multiple sclerosis and stroke.
