An interactive
medical training device comprising a computer
system having a display, wherein the computer
system is programmed to provide education and training in radiological sciences, more particularly in radiological procedures that promote the diagnoses of many ailments and the treatment of
cancer and / or tumors. The computer
system simulates radiological procedures for medical practitioners, students, and patients. This aspect is achieved by configuring the system to display, on a portion of the display, a video window. The video window displays an
interactive video segment illustrating a portion of the radiologic /
radiation therapy procedure. The system requests a user to input information relating to a next step in the radiologic /
radiation therapy procedure, which advantageously keeps the user engaged in the training session. This “next step” information may include, for example, selecting an appropriate medical instrument or selecting a location on the body for
radiation therapy / radiologic procedure. The user inputs the requested information through an
input device, such as a mouse, a keyboard, a touch-sensitive screen, or other
input device, such as a
remote control-like device. The system then receives and interprets the
user input and informs the user as to whether the input is correct. Preferable, if the input is correct the system will display a prerecorded
interactive video segment illustrating the next step of the radiologic /
radiation therapy procedure.
