Challenge #1 in radiology imaging: how to work more productively?

HEALTHCARE - DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING 3 min read

With the shift from volume-based to value-based healthcare services, radiologists arenow moving out of the radiology reading room to engage in more direct radiologist-patientcommunication and become part of the care team. At the same time,radiologists are confronted with a growing demand for imaging exams, resulting inmore as well as more complex imaging studies. Display technology that helps usersharness productivity and work more efficiently is essential.

 

#1. Use a monitor that allows viewing of different modalities, in grayscale and in color, on a single screen. This eliminates the need to change workstations or displays.
