Trauma radiology: The need for a teaching trauma case series

Abstract

Introduction: Computed Tomography (CT) is the most widely utilised imaging modality in the adult trauma setting. Accurate interpretation is vital for the appropriate management to be instigated. Given that many radiology training programs do not expose trainees to significant volumes of major trauma, we surmised that there was a need for a dedicated trauma teaching program. Our aim was to determine how confident radiology registrars and radiologists are when reporting trauma and to develop an online teaching trauma case series that will enable them to improve their competency and confidence.
