CT scans are becoming increasingly prevalent in medicine. These are reviewed by radiologists and formal report provided. A recent survey suggests that non-radiologists are increasingly being expected to be able to interpret pathology on CT scans, however there is limited training provided in medical school and specialty training schemes. This study aims to qualitatively analyse how non-radiologists of different seniority and specialties approach CT body scan interpretation. This will be done by recording participants as they look at a pre-selected CT scan. The data will be reviewed with a thematic analysis. The eventual aim is to develop a CT interpretation system, which can be used by the non-radiologist to look for important pathology on a CT scan of the body
