The simulation is currently being implemented as part of an intercollegiate aging studies grant. This multimedia simulation serves as the prototype for a national simulation project in dentistry. Simulations will be used by students and practitioners in their dental and dental hygiene education and continuing education courses. Additionally, a parallel set of simulations will be used for assessment. This presentation will introduce the audience to concepts of noninvasive 3-D medical imaging and discuss use of the World Wide Web and networking environments which allow rural hospitals to utilize interactive consultations for advanced image analysis.
Web based tutorials aid rural sites in acquiring image data via mobile or local scanners.
Improving emergency care through the use of desktop videoconferencing and a patient database. This project will allow physicians in tertiary and community hospitals to make more informed decisions on patient transfer and treatment. A core resource for problem-based learning, research and clinical care being provided on and off campus. The UI Image Analysis Facility is a central research facility that provides resources for groups interested in computer visualization and imaging applications. Services available at the facility include data processing, training, consulting, software development and access to workstations.
