Within the field of health, cooperation and mutual support are essential to achieve better results. It is a mistake to think individually because the support of others is always needed to offer a comprehensive service to patients. In that tenor, in radiology it is necessary to follow some tips to improve workflows and achieve better results.
Diagnostic work can be complicated because the work of the radiologist focuses on the review of many cases to analyze in a short time. That is why medical screens should not only be a means to view digital images, but a support tool that allows specialists to work more comfortably and easily.
Keys to improve work in radiology
In this sense, the tools to improve workflows are essential to facilitate this task, since through medical applications it is possible to improve the specialist’s workspace. In this regard, Francisco Fandiño, Managing Director Latin America at Shipmentions the three basic aspects that medical-grade displays must offer to work smarter and with less effort.
Focus: In the field of radiology, seeing every detail is an essential aspect for the timely detection of conditions, so tools designed to help specialists focus on important fragments allow better focus to increase precision and reduce reading time.
“In Barco’s medical-grade screens, we have several tools that are a differentiator compared to conventional screens, an example is SpotView which allows focused observation during readings, attenuating images that are outside a region of interest. , and improving the contrast within it.”
Flexibility: Another point to highlight refers to the user’s preferences and their profile to adapt the configuration of their work team in a more comfortable and efficient way. Intuitive work tools offer endless possibilities, such as an additional and customizable screen, sharing options, or even create profiles for each user within the radiology room.
Essentials like calibrating to a proper tint, controlling your screen display, managing the appearance of applications, and controlling the brightness intensity are basics that improve working conditions for specialists.
Comfort: In the radiologist’s work, it is possible to identify basic aspects that can bring minor inconveniences in the reading of diagnoses, one of them is working with multiple screens in a dark room, which can trigger problems of eye fatigue, or discomfort such as tunnel syndrome carpal due to long working hours.
“The tools for medical-grade screens offer a range of possibilities to specialists, since they are not only intuitive, but also allow them to respond to different needs that arise in radiology, from subtle image analysis, screen customization, and adjustments referring to user preferences”.
The use of these elements generates more comfortable spaces and allows to further increase the workflow in the health sector, also responding to the needs of different branches of medicine, such as: radiology, mammographypathology, and clinical review images.
In summary, working more efficiently and with less effort is possible when the essential aspects of focus, flexibility and comfort for the work of specialists are covered, also having the right equipment allows them to improve conditions in the diagnostic interpretation.
