RSNA’s Medical Imaging Resource Center (MIRC) is now offering access to a wide variety of independent digital teaching files through one central point —-mirc.rsna.org. This month, MIRC will unveil an authoring tool that will further expand the ability to create, share and access medical information for research and education. “MIRC makes it possible for all institutions and even individuals to develop and share their information beyond their current capabilities,” says Eliot L. Siegel, M.D., chairman of the MIRC subcommittee of the RSNA Electronic Communications Committee (ECC). The goal of MIRC is to enable the medical imaging community to share images and information for education, research and clinical practice. Originally conceived as a central point of storage for such information, MIRC has evolved into a community of libraries searchable via the Internet. This linking of materials will encourage convergence on standard formats for teaching files and other research documents. In addition to having access to a group of independent teaching file sites, MIRC also indexes documents containing images, graphics, audio and video elements in a standard MIRC format which can be displayed on standard Web browsers. It can also provide an index of presentations and scientific and technical papers in any format.
