UBC Radiology App Review
UBC Radiology is an iPhone app developed by Matthew Toom, available for free in the Education & Reference category under Medicine. The app aims to assist medical trainees and professionals in improving their confidence in identifying normal anatomical structures, choosing appropriate imaging tests, and recognizing common pathologies using x-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound.
Tailored to the radiology undergraduate curriculum at the University of British Columbia (UBC), the app is structured for both pre-clinical (MS1, MS2) and clinical (MS3, MS4, intern) years. The pre-clinical years focus on normal anatomy identification and basic ultrasound skills, while the clinical years emphasize familiarity with ordering appropriateness criteria and identifying key pathologies. The clinical cases in the app are derived from the UBC third-year medical student clerkship objectives, providing a comprehensive learning experience.
