Objective: Radiology has been espoused as an excellent tool for educating medical students since 1925. Advances in technology and PACS mean it has never been easier to demonstrate living anatomy and clinical pathology in exquisite detail to students. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of radiologic publications related to teaching medical students and its evolution through time.
Methods: A literature search was performed from inception to November 2018. The search strategies used both text words and relevant indexing related to "radiology", "medical students" and "curriculum".
Results: 3589 records were identified of which 377 were included. There was a 100 fold increase in rate of publication over time-most were expository or surveys (60%), with few truly experimental articles. Radiology was used in clinical teaching (67%) and anatomy (33%). Almost half of radiologic anatomy teaching was conducted without the input of a Radiologist. Compulsory clinical clerkships/blocks in radiology was offered infrequently (35%). Female first authorship had increased in the last decade (47%).
Conclusion: There is a significant increase in articles published on the role of radiology in medical student teaching in the last decade. Research in this area is required in order to investigate the role of radiology in improving the modern medical students' education.

Article Synopsis
- Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a complex skin cancer that includes Mycosis fungoides and Sézary syndrome, making accurate diagnosis and severity assessment essential for effective treatment.
- A study involving 16 dermatology residents showed significant variability in their evaluation of lesions using the mSWAT scoring system, particularly with tumors and lesions in erythrodermic patients, which were often misclassified.
- The findings reveal the need for better training and standardized protocols in scoring to enhance reliability in assessing CTCL severity, similar to other assessment tools in dermatology.
Prevalence of High Frequency Noise-Induced Hearing Loss Among Medical Students Using Personalized Listening Devices.
J Clin Med
December 2024
Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Bhaarath Medical College, Chennai 600073, Tamil Nadu, India.
The misuse of personalized listening devices (PLDs) resulting in noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) has become a public health concern, especially among youths, including medical students. The occupational use of PLDs that produce high-intensity sounds amplifies the danger of cochlear deterioration and high-frequency NIHL especially when used in noisy environments. This study aims to evaluate the incidence and trends of NIHL among medical students using PLDs.
