Challenge #2 in radiology imaging: how to read more comfortably?

A study conducted by the MarkeTech Group claims 85% of radiologists use three displays or more. Alternating between multiple screens can lead to physical discomfort, including eye fatigue, neck strain and back pain. Reading discomfort is reportedly experienced by 87% of radiologists. Here's a checklist of what to consider when you want a comfortable read:

#1. A large display form factor allows for flexible, more ergonomic viewing of multimodality images on one screen

#2. The ability to place a display in the perfect viewing position allows you to view images in a fixed, more relaxed way

#3. Minimize image manipulations (and occupational injuries) with a display that allows you to position images just the way you want (whether in the center of the display or over the entire screen)

#4. A wide viewing angle (at least 178°) decreases the need for substantial head and eye movements

#5. A display that offers highly calibrated brightness as well as built-in features to adjust display brightness to the ambient light ensures optimal reading conditions

#6. A non-reflective glass cover is not only safeguarding image quality, it is also easy on the eyes
