Dear AuntMinnie Member,
CHICAGO - Wintry weather returned to Chicago today during RSNA 2006.
In addition to chilly winds and rainy skies, attendees arriving at Thursday's meeting were greeted by blocked roads and emergency personnel due to a gas leak in McCormick Place (click here for a photo from our RADCast @ RSNA photo gallery). The problem was soon cleared up, however, and Thursday's proceedings continued without interruption.
Our RADCast @ RSNA coverage is also continuing without interruption, featuring a variety of clinical and business news from the meeting. Healthcare information technology is the focus of today's news, leading off with an article about a study that found that speech recognition technology was leading to a significant number of errors in radiology reports. Get the details by clicking here.
In another presentation, U.S. researchers followed up on a study from the 2005 meeting that found that consumer-grade color display monitors could be suitable for primary interpretation of some imaging studies. Find out more by clicking here.
Finally, a group from Illinois found that implementing a simple error-tracking program can reduce the number of misreads by radiology residents. Learn how they did it by clicking here.
Check out these articles and the rest of our daily reports from Chicago this week in our RADCast @ RSNA, available at radcast.auntminnie.com, and safe travels to all who are heading home from Chicago!
