This paper presents a novel approach for interpretation of Computerised-Tomography (CT) scans. The proposed system entails an automated transfer of selected CT scans onto a derfault Virtual Reality human model. Contemporary training requirements often are proven to be time-consuming for the clinical facilities which have to split unevenly their operational time between radiological examinations and the Radiologists' training. Adhering to the contemporary training requirements we employed a plethora of VR and Human-computer Interaction techniques in order to enable the trainees to familiarise themselves with the interpretation of such data and their actual, spatial correlation inside the human body. Overall the paper presents the challenges involved in the development of this method and examines the potential as well as the drawbacks for deployment of such system in large scale teaching audience. Finally the paper discusses the results of an initial user-trial, which involved twelve trainee doctors, and offers a tentative plan of future work which aspires to customise the software for different learning levels.
