Brief Summary
Hypothesis: The majority of Emergency physicians and patients do not feel that specific informed consent should be obtained for ED CT scans. Secondary Hypothesis: Emergency attending physicians and residents will have similar attitudes about CT scan consent issues. Physician attitudes toward obtaining consent for CT scans will change after an educational program about the associated risks.
