Dear PACS Insider,
Engineers have often developed PACS workstation software without much input from users. But a study team from Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA, and the VA Maryland Health System in Baltimore are aiming to change the dynamics of workstation design.
Dear PACS Insider,
Engineers have often developed PACS workstation software without much input from users. But a study team from Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA, and the VA Maryland Health System in Baltimore are aiming to change the dynamics of workstation design.
The researchers have created a workstation auditing tool that provides automated data extraction and data mining, which they believe offers an improvement over previous assessment techniques involving observational sessions with radiologists. The software will lead to efficient, more intelligent workstations, while improving the effectiveness of image interpretation, they said.
Automated feedback gives radiologists a proactive role in the future of software and graphical user interface design, said Dr. Khan Siddiqui, who presented the team’s research at the 2003 RSNA meeting in Chicago.
