    In-person radiologist to review the trauma panscan: a high-fidelity simulation training program for radiology trainees at an academic level 1 trauma center

    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 < 0.05. Results: The mean time to provide results at the CT scanner was 11.1 min. Mean time for the preliminary report for CT head and cervical spine was 24.4 ± 9.8 min, and for the CT chest, abdomen, and pelvis was 16.3 ± 6.9 min. 53 traumatic findings on 62 panscans were identified at the scanner and confirmed at preliminary and final reports, for a concordance rate of 85%, compared to 72% for the control group. Radiology residents agreed or strongly agreed the training prepared them for trauma panscan reporting. Trauma surgeons shifted in favor of radiology presence at the scanner. Conclusion: Radiology residents can be trained to accurately and rapidly identify injuries requiring immediate surgical attention at the CT scanner. Clinical impact: These findings support the value-added of an in-person radiologist at the CT scanner for whole-body trauma panscans to facilitate timely detection of life-threatening injuries and improve professional relations between radiologists and trauma surgeons.
