The Time Has Come: a Paradigm Shift in Diagnostic Radiology Education via Simulation Training.

ABSTRACT: Current radiology training for medical students and residents predominantly consists of reviewing teaching files, attending lectures, reading textbooks and online sources, as well as one-on-one teaching at the workstation. In the case of medical schools, radiology training is quite passive. In addition, the variety of important and high-yield cases that trainees are exposed to may be limited in scope. We utilized an open-source dcm4chee-based Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) named "Weasis" in order to simulate a radiologist's practice in the real world, using anonymized report-free complete cases that could easily be uploaded live during read-outs for training purposes. MySQL was used for database management and JBOSS as application server. In addition, we integrated Weasi
