Bruce L. McClennan, M.D., professor and chair of the Department of Diagnostic Radiology, collaborated with Walt Disney World to create an interactive exhibit on radiology that opened in October at Epcot Center in Orlando, Fla. “Radiology: Medicine’s New Vision,” which McClennan and colleagues from the Radiologic Society of North America (RSNA) helped design, showcases the role of radiologists in medicine and helps explain the many new uses of radiology for both treatment and therapy. The exhibit features an arcade with several video games, including “Cell Smash,” in which a guest can blast a cancer cell, and “Brain Game,” which offers a virtual ride through the brain as its parts are identified. Another display allows guests a realistic try at performing an angioplasty. “I crashed the computer on my first try,” said McClennan. RSNA, the largest professional radiology society in the world, made initial contact with Disney to conceive the exhibit and invested $3 million in the project.
