Bailer R, et al. - Researchers examined how a 3D-reconstruction influence surgical residents’ assessment of resectability of pancreatic lesions. High-quality, triphasic abdominal CT scans of four cases with a pancreatic lesion were obtained and evaluated to ensure sufficient resolution and slice thickness. Then the images were used for 3D-reconstruction of the cases. Using CT in conjunction with 3D-reconstruction software vs CT only led PGY3-5 residents to have statistically-significant higher percentage of correct answers on objective questionnaire items. Using 3D-reconstruction software, PGY1-2 residents had a higher percentage of correct answers, though the difference was not statistically significant. These findings support the viability of 3D-reconstruction software as a tool to augment radiology education within a surgery residency, particularly in CT interpretation. However, a minimum threshold of knowledge seemed required for meaningful improvement; therefore, this software is possibly more valuable for PGY3-5 residents than PGY1-2 residents.
