Student
develops Web site as radiology guide 
THE 16-YEARS-OLD NEPHEW
OF A well-known Italian radiologist has developed a Web site to educate patients
about medical imaging. Niccolò Dalla Palma of Milan devised the Web site, "Radiology:
the eyes that look into our inner body" as part of an international competition.
His coworker was David Kilcher from Basel. The site is easy to navigatearound
and available in English, German, Italian and French. "We decided to choose
a medical subject and finally chose radiology because we were both interested
in this subject and we both wanted to know more about it", Dalla Palma said.
Dalla Palma's uncle, Prof. Ludovico Dalla Palma of Trieste, was a committee
member of the European Congress of Radiology throughout the 1990s and the driving
force behind the Halley training project for East European doctors.
