Optimizing the Diagnostic Radiology Interface as a Resident

Ben White

Should New Residents Worry about Efficiency and Ergonomics? Yes. I don’t think it’s ever too early to start thinking deliberately about what makes you better and more efficient in your job or able to act more sustainably. If anything, spending more time on workflow and ergonomics early on in your career is an investment in yourself. As a resident, I just used whatever was plugged into the workstation I sat at.

Image perception: Are radiologists akin to MLB batters?

AuntMinnie

A radiologist’s perception when viewing a complex MR image may be akin to a Major League Baseball (MLB) batter reading the stitches on a fastball, according to researchers exploring exactly how diagnostic interpretations are made. The baseball metaphor works because eye-tracking studies have shown that radiologists are able to discriminate between normal and abnormal stacks of 26 T2-weighted images from prostate MRI in as little as 48 milliseconds per section, said neuroscientist Robert Alexande

3D Mammography Almost Halves the Incidence of Breast Cancer Between Two Screening Tests

milla1cf Wed, 03/20/2024 - 19:12 March 20, 2024 — Interval breast cancer is one that appears between two reviews of a screening program. That is, it is diagnosed after a test whose result was negative and before the next evaluation. For obvious reasons, it is a very reliable indicator of the effectiveness of early detection programs for this disease: if the number of cancers that appear after a screening is high, it is a sign that the program is not working.
