Abstract

Abstract: Interest in the need for systematic radiology education has increased since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. Practice and attitude surveys on radiology education have been previously undertaken and indicate that there is currently limited quantitative knowledge on the use of radiation and radiological consequences. Although maintenance of an education system and measurements of its effects on knowledge levels have been conducted, no novel developments have been made in the methods of measurement. In this study, we measured the effect of the infographics to develop more effective educational materials and lecture methods in radiology education. In addition, we quantitatively evaluated the effects of using infographics on changes in knowledge levels using statistical analysis.
