Summary

Many injured patients receive urgent CT imaging to identify major injury. CT imaging of trauma patients is often time critical and the accurate detection of life-threatening findings on this CT is essential. Often following a scan a radiologist is not immediately available to review the imaging, however other members of the trauma team have access to the imaging and may be in a position to provide a "hot" report. In this study we aim to demonstrate if an educational intervention with a checklist improves accuracy of the hot report.

Conditions

  • Trauma (Including Fractures)
  • Trauma Abdomen
  • Trauma Blunt
  • Trauma Centers

Interventions

OTHER

Education

The three groups will report 2 image banks of 15 CT images each. Image bank A will contain 15 CT images each with a brief history including the mechanism of injury. Image bank B will contain 10 new CT images and 5 CT images contained within image bank A, but with an altered but compatible mechanism of injury. Group 1 will report image bank A, receive the educational intervention and then report image bank B with the checklist. Group 2 will report image bank B, receive the educational intervention and then report image bank A. Group 3 will report image bank A and B without any intervention.
