Impact of trauma center status on radiology resident performance in detecting non-accidental trauma on the WIDI SIM exam.

Purpose: To evaluate whether adult and pediatric trauma center status, as well as the presence of dedicated child protection teams, influences radiology resident performance in detecting non-accidental trauma on the Emergent/Critical Care Imaging Simulation (WIDI SIM) exam.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 639 WIDI SIM exam scores for four pediatric non-accidental trauma cases completed by radiology residents across 33 programs. Residents were stratified by level (R1-R4) and institutional factors, including adult trauma center status, pediatric trauma center status, and child protection team presence.

Radiology resident competency in orthopedic trauma detection in simulated on-call scenarios.

Purpose: To evaluate radiology residents' ability to accurately identify three specific types of orthopedic trauma using radiographic imaging within a simulated on-call environment.

Methods: We utilized the Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging Emergent/Critical Care Radiology Simulation (WIDI SIM) to assess residents' preparedness for independent radiology call. The simulation included 65 cases, with three focusing on orthopedic trauma: sacral ala, femoral neck, and pediatric tibial/Toddler's fractures.

Visceral Pain in Preterm Infants with Necrotizing Enterocolitis: Underlying Mechanisms and Implications for Treatment.

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a relatively rare but very severe gastrointestinal disease primarily affecting very preterm infants. NEC is characterized by excessive inflammation and ischemia in the intestines, and is associated with prolonged, severe visceral pain. Despite its recognition as a highly painful disease, current pain management for NEC is often inadequate, and research on optimal analgesic therapy for these patients is lacking.

Radiology resident proficiency in identifying misplaced lines, tubes, and devices: a simulation-based study using WIDI SIM.

Purpose: Accurate placement of medical devices is crucial in critical care to prevent severe complications. This study aims to evaluate radiology residents' proficiency in identifying four specific critical misplacements of medical devices using the Wisdom in Diagnostic Imaging Simulation (WIDI SIM).

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 1,102 responses from radiology residents who participated in the WIDI SIM between 2010 and 2022.

Correlation between adult trauma center status and radiology resident performance on trauma cases in the WIDI SIM exam.

Purpose: To assess whether adult trauma center status influences radiology resident performance on trauma cases in the Emergent/Critical Care Imaging SIMulation (WIDI SIM) exam.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 29,290 WIDI SIM exam scores from 110 adult trauma cases across 55 radiology residency programs. Residents were categorized by training level-R1 (n = 17,801), R2 (n = 9,136), R3 (n = 1,826), R4 (n = 527)-and by their program's adult trauma center designation: Level 1 (n = 20,121), Level 2 (n = 1,870), Level 3 (n = 1,029), Level 4 (n = 487), and no trauma designation (n = 5,834).
