Challenge 2 in radiology imaging: how to read more comfortably
INSIGHTS - RADIOLOGY 2 min read
Most radiologists use three displays or more. Alternating between multiple screens can lead to physical discomfort, including eye fatigue, neck strain and back pain. Reading discomfort is reportedly experienced by radiologists. Here's a checklist of what to consider when you want a comfortable read.
#1. A large display form factor allows for flexible, more ergonomic viewing of multimodality images on one screen.
#2. The ability to place a display in the perfect viewing position allows you toview images in a fixed, more relaxed way.
#3. Minimize image manipulations (and occupational injuries) with a display that allows you to position images just the way you want (whether in the center of the display or over the entire screen).
#4. A wide viewing angle (at least 178°) decreases the need for substantial head and eye movements.
#5. A display that offers highly calibrated brightness as well as built-in features to adjust display brightness to the ambient light ensures optimal reading conditions.
#6. A non-reflective glass cover does not only safeguard image quality, it is also easy on the eyes.
