Few
Useful Sites featuring Radiology/Pathology Correlation 1.
Aunt Minnie Radiology-Pathology Compendium at http://education.auntminnie.com/AuntMinnie/AMRadPath/QMachine.ASP?UID=AMRP0001
contains educational cases featuring diagnostic imaging workup with pathologic
correlation. Cases are grouped by regions and can be accessed after a mandatory
registration. Searching the RadPath case repository can be performed using the
following descriptors: ACR codes, Modality, Diagnosis and any combination of the
above. Besides, a special feature, on "Organ system of week", is also available.
2. MedPix™ at http://rad.usuhs.mil/medpix/medpix.html?mode=default
is a radiology database, focusing on important entitles, encountered in Radiology
practice. This useful teaching database authored by Smirniotopoulos JG, Professor
of Radiology and Neurology Chair, from Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences, Bethesda, can be searched by disease location, by organ system, by pathology
category, by patient profiles, by image classification and by caption. Besides,
there is a WHO 2000 Classification of Brain Tumors is a http://rad.medpix.net/rad/who/who-index.html
and AIDS: Imaging the Brain Radiologic Pathologic Correlations at http://rad.usuhs.mil/rad/aids/aids_imaging.html.
3. Radiology/Pathology Correlation Module is featured from the
BrighamRAD Teaching Case Database is at http://brighamrad.harvard.edu/
. The material covers a range of clinical entities ranging from Adenocarcinoma
of the gallbladder to Wegener's Granulomatosis (RadPath).
4.
Radiographic Pathology Index is a specialised section available from X-ray
2000 at http://www.xray2000.co.uk/
. The educative material authored by Nick Oldnall, essentially comprises of common
clinical entities, covered briefly with the pathological basis and imaging features.

changes of disease. There are special sections on Overview of Pulmonary Pathology,
Basic Pulmonary Anatomy, and Radiology-Pathology Correlation in Pulmonary Disease.
An Introductory Primer of Pulmonary HRCT: Anatomic with Pathologic Correlation
at http://pathhsw5m54.ucsf.edu/ctpath/ctpathcontents.html

with HRCT.
6. Chest Radiology Pathology Image Index is available
at http://myweb.lsbu.ac.uk/~dirt/museum/museum.html
. Authored by Ian Maddison, the cases can be searched and viewed as unknowns or
by a Case list, in order of Pathology or Cases, in order of Anatomy or by using
ACR codes.

from the McGill Molson Medical Informatics. Available at http://sprojects.mmi.mcgill.ca/radpath/molson3/default2.htm
and sourced from the McGill University Faculty of Medicine, the site addresses
the anatomic and pathogenetic bases of various radiologic abnormalities seen in
chest diseases. The material is organized according to patterns seen on standard
chest radiographs, illustrated with cases, all available at http://sprojects.mmi.mcgill.ca/radpath/molson3/radiological_pattern_page.htm
. The conditions and patterns covered are numerous ranging from Abscess to Wegener's
Granulomatosis.

Signs is also provided
10. WebPath Mini Tutorials at
http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/TUTORIAL/TUTORIAL.html#1
are an elegant set featuring pathological basis of clinical entities. Some of
these common and important topics include Breast Cancer, CNS Degenerative Diseases,
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, Osteoporosis, Prostate Pathology, Renal Cystic Disease,
SLE and Tuberculosis. Interestingly, a searchable database is available at http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/SEARCH.html
, while a feature on Pediatric-Perinatal Pathology Index is offered at
http://www-medlib.med.utah.edu/WebPath/PEDHTML/PEDIDX.html
.
