Abstract: In order to improve the experimental teaching effect of the course of magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)technology and to tackle the challenges from lack of equipment for skill training and insufficient training time, the College of Medical Imaging of Shanghai University of Medicine and Health Sciences designed and implemented a “Cloud” MRI teaching system based on DICOM (digital imaging and communications in medicine) technology. This system simulated the whole process of MRI examination, and designed modules of patient information registration, examination sequence, imaging parameter setting, image browsing and processing, film format typesetting and printing. The teaching system supports multi-user online learning at the same time, provides practical teaching projects of multi-part MRI examination technology course, and has intelligent assistant with embedded micro teaching video of imaging parameters and operation assessment system. After two rounds of teaching practice, a good learning outcome has been proved by this new pathway of education.
