It may be due to their high level of spatial ability (i.e., their ability to visualize and mentally manipulate 3D objects), according to researchers from the University of Missouri - Columbia.October 18, 2010PACS/VNAPoiesis targets workflow, analytics improvements in PACSSome PACS watchers believe the next generation of PACS software will focus on workflow and quality enhancements, including expanded use of business intelligence tools. Poiesis Informatics is one company aiming to facilitate that future.October 12, 2010PACS/VNAImage editing software poses data integrity riskDespite all the benefits of PACS, digital images engender their own security issues, including the possibility of alteration by image editing software. As such, institutions need to take steps to ensure data integrity, according to research published online in Clinical Radiology.October 6, 2010PACS/VNAReading room requires attention to ergonomic issuesAs radiologists spend an increasing amount of time at their workstations, they also face an elevated risk for repetitive motion injuries and cumulative trauma disorders. As a result, sound ergonomic practices are very important, according to Steven Horii, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center in Philadelphia.October 3, 2010Previous PagePage 241 of 393Next PageTop StoriesMolecular ImagingPET predicts faster cognitive decline in women than menWomen initially outperformed men at low brain tau levels, but the advantage diminished as tau levels increased over time.MRIUnclear explanations of contrast MRI exams heighten patient anxietyWomens ImagingMammography screening improves survival for late-stage cancersUltrasoundUltrasound MinnieCast, Episode 2: Body imaging with RUS-PATSponsor ContentHow Agentic AI Is Transforming Radiology Ops
