The Foundation works in collaboration with the ICTP by provides textbooks, extensive digital resources, and continuing support for each of the participants from approximately 40 Developing Countries. The objective is to establish and enhance educational programs in each country to support the effective use of medical imaging procedures. |

Xi'an Medical University, now Xi'an Jiaotong University | ||
The Foundation and Dr. Sprawls have a
long and productive collaboration with the Xi'an Medical University in
China. This includes the development and implementation of some innovative educational programs in radiology and the translation and publication of one of his textbooks (shown below) that was used through China. A major factor contributing to advances in Chinese medical education was the establishment of the Emory University-Xi'an Cooperative Program in Radiology with Dr. Sprawls as Co-Director and Faculty.. This provided for faculty exchanges and a variety of projects to share Emory experience to enhance medical imaging and education in Xi'an. A special event, shown below,, was the dedication of the Medical Imaging Education Center sponsored by the Sprawls Educational Foundation. This introduced the use of computer and digital technology for radiology education. |
