WEB ALERT

摘要

AuntMinnie.com is a free interactive radiology Web portal launched in 1999 for professionals in radiology and medical imaging-related fields. The name for the site is derived from a colloquialism for "a case with radiologic findings so specific and compelling that no realistic differential diagnosis exists." That is to say, if it looks like your Aunt Minnie, then it is your Aunt Minnie.The Web site is easy to navigate with content devoted to education, conference notifications, online discussion forums, reference materials, and a buyer's guide for imaging equipment. Of particular interest to the sports medicine clinician is a robust online teaching file in the education section that is searchable for musculoskeletal cases. These cases feature interactive clinical vignettes with associated imaging. The cases serve as an excellent educational tool as the viewer is directed through the development of a differential diagnosis and identification of imaging abnormalities. This is then followed by a thorough discussion of the pathology present. AuntMinnie.com is a great site for anyone looking to improve his or her radiology skill set.Cost: Free.
