Zusammenfassung:Background Radiology trainees were uncomfortable going to the CT scanner to review trauma panscans and interacting with trauma surgeons. Objective This study aims to determine if radiology residents can be trained to accurately identify injuries requiring immediate surgical attention at the CT scanner. Methods A high-fidelity simulation model was created to provide an immersive training experience. Between February 2015 and April 2017, 62 class 1 trauma panscans were read at the CT scanner by 11 PGY-3 radiology residents. Findings made at the scanner were compared to resident preliminary and attending radiology reports and correlated with clinical outcomes. Timestamps were recorded and analyzed. Surveys were administered to assess the impact of training on radiology residents’ self-confidence and to assess trauma surgeons’ preference for radiology at the scanner. Significance level was set at p
