A
mutilingual dictionary of terms used in MRI and other medical physics
specialties has been developed by an international network of over 200
physicists and engineers. The dictionary (available free at www.emitel2.eu)
allows translation of terms between 25 languages, with extension to
additional languages planned for the future. The software platform was
developed to be as simple as possible without compromising content, allowing
easy update and maximising longevity. The dictionary can be used as a
free-standing resource or as a portal to an e-encyclopaedia of medical
physics. Together, the dictionary and encyclopaedia are valuable resources
for the worldwide MRI community.
