Radiologists’ comfort is integral for peak performance during long working days.
A studyconducted by the MarkeTech Group claims 85% of radiologists use three displays ormore. Alternating between multiple screens can lead to physical discomfort, includingeye fatigue, neck strain and back pain. Reading discomfort is reportedly experiencedby 87% of radiologists. Here's a checklist of what to consider when you want a comfortable read:
#1. A large display form factor allowsfor flexible, more ergonomic viewing ofmultimodality images on one screen
#2. The ability to place a display in theperfect viewing position allows you toview images in a fixed, more relaxedway
#3. Minimize image manipulations(and occupational injuries) with adisplay that allows you to positionimages just the way you want (whetherin the center of the display or over theentire screen)
#4. A wide viewing angle (at least178°) decreases the need for substantialhead and eye movements
#5. A display that offers highlycalibrated brightness as well as built-infeatures to adjust display brightnessto the ambient light ensures optimalreading conditions
#6. A non-reflective glass cover is notonly safeguarding image quality, it isalso easy on the eyes
