This web site creates a digital reflection of their commitment to education, and demonstrates how clinicians can use current technology in diagnosing and treating the illnesses of their patients. Leading-edge technology and software are highlighted. We can only hope they keep the process going." [October 1996]

Review: Content: 42/50 Presentation: 39/50 Experience: 32/50
"Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard Medical School present this intensive site on radiology, a highly technical medical site for doctors and students interested in medical imaging. Images--and imaging--are discussed in detail with several case studies that take you from injury through diagnosis to treatment. You'll also find links to cool places like the Whole Brain Atlas, an online tutorial and encyclopedia, and the Atlas of Brain Perfusion SPECT, which teaches diagnosis using images of the brain. Strictly for the professionals--although the pictures can be neat to look at." [1995]
