The fluoroscopy-less CAT is an economically feasible and accurate model for training parallax. It effectively replicates the functions of a C-arm X-ray system for percutaneous access to the kidney without any radiation exposure to the learner. Further studies will examine construct validity for training and assessing percutaneous access skills.

This model successfully allowed for the demonstration of hemorrhage and airway management skills with high anatomic and tissue fidelity. For the assessment of critical lifesaving skills that are nondestructive in nature, the use of a fresh perfused cadaveric model is feasible and suitable for evaluation of these procedures.
