Objective To investigate the effect of the courses of image diagnostics on clinical pro-bation period via the combination of PBL and multimedia network teaching model. Methods 126 under-graduates from the department of medical image (Grade 2011 and 2012) were selected as teaching subjects, and PBL combined with multimedia network teaching was adopted in the teaching of the course of medical imaging diagnosis. After class we implemented a questionnaire survey, and let the students write learning experience. Statistical analysis was conducted by using SSPS 13.0 to reflect the teaching participation in the students' questionnaire and a. summary analysis of the learning experience of the students was also made. Results 123 valid questionnaires were collected. 94.31%(116 people) of students were active participants in these courses, 90.25%(111 people) of the students thought they could actively communicate in teaching, and 43% (110 people) of the students thought they got fully prepared before class. 123 articles in accor-dance with the requirements of experience were received; most students took positive attitude to the active influence the teaching methods had brought; some student pointed out that the teaching method had the disadvantages such as too much time to prepare, too much information, and so on. Conclusions The com-bination of PBL and multimedia network teaching has preliminary results. It is a novel model that is available for teaching image diagnostics on clinical probation period.

Objective To evaluate the value of dual echo technique in combination with apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC) in differentiating acute benign vertebral fracture from metastasis.Methods 43 patients (mean age, 68.2 years) with 79 metastatic vertebrae and 59 patients(mean age,60) with 68 acute vertebral fractures were included in our study.The slices of largest size of lesion on T1WI were selected to measure and calculate the signal intensity ratio(SIR) and ADC of lesions.The difference of ADC values and SIR between benign acute vertebral fractures and vertebral metastasis were compared.Parallel test,serial test and receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC) analysis of logistic model were done.Results ADC values of metastasis and acute benign fracture were (1.32±0.5)×10~（-3）mm~2/s and (2.39±0.4)×10~(-3)mm~~2/s respectively,and SIR of them were 1.00±0.01 and 0.85±0.01 respectively,there were significantly different between these two entities with the two tests(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC) for SIR was 0.897 and for ADC was 0.960,there is significantly different between these two tests in AUC(P=0.02).When 0.97 as cut off value for SIR,the sensitivity and specificity were 84.81% and 76.47%% respectively,when 1.87×10~(-3)mm~2/s as cutoff value for ADC , the sensitivity and specificity were 93.67% and 91.18% respectively . The sensitivity and specificity were 99.04% and 69.73% respectively in the parallel tests and 79.44%,97.92% in the serial test.A combining predictor established with logistic regression model showed a high AUC:0.985,which was higher than that of ADC and SIR alone.The AUC under ROC for ADC was significantly larger than that of SIR . When 0.55 as cut off value for this combining predictor , the sensitivity and specificity were 98.73% and 95.59% respectively.Multiple comparisons were performed with LSD-t test :combining predictor>ADC>SIR,it showed that there was significantly different between indexes(P<0.05). Conclusion ADC in combination with SIR can improve the effects in differentiating benign acute vertebral fractures and vertebral metastasis.
