title: Simulation in Radiology Education: Thinking Outside the Phantom.
abstract: The purpose of this article is to discuss the use of simulation in radiology education.
  
  
  
  Simulation is an engaging way to educate radiology trainees. It allows trainees to improve their procedural and clinical skills in a calm, supportive environment that optimizes patient safety. Familiarity with the principles of simulation education may help radiologists evaluate their training curricula to identify skills that could be augmented with simulation training.
