| description | Abstract Background The study aims to conduct a comparative analysis of traditional and integrated approaches to radiology teaching in order to evaluate the effectiveness of novel educational methods. Methods The study was conducted in Shenzhen, China, between January and December 2023. It involved 100 radiology residents who were randomly assigned to either a traditional training (TT) group or an integrated training (IT) group. The average age of participants was 28 years. Results The TT group received conventional lectures and practical training, while the IT group used simulation software, interactive platforms, and artificial intelligence (AI) tools. The analysis revealed that the mean score of the IT group in the theoretical knowledge test was 170.3 ± 15.1, which is significantly higher than that of the TT group (155.7 ± 20.4; t = 4.21, p < 0.001). In the practical skills test, the IT group scored 160.7 ± 22.4, while the TT group scored 135.8 ± 25.6 (t = 5.13, p < 0.001). Conclusions The findings of the study indicate a significant advantage of an integrated approach to radiology teaching over conventional methods. The integration of modern technologies into the learning process has been shown to enhance both short- and long-term educational outcomes in medical education. This finding is of practical significance for educational institutions in this field. It is recommended that integrated teaching methods be introduced in order to improve the quality of specialist training. Clinical trial number Not applicable |
