Steven Chester Horii MD, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

Despite the years that PACS have been used clinically, the interaction between the radiologist user and the workstation is still of fundamental importance and continues to be a source of frustration. As the complexity and size of imaging studies increases, manufacturers will have to try to develop workstations that suit the task and users will have to accept what results. Understanding the sources of errors, fatigue, and decreased productivity resulting from poorly-designed workstation user interfaces is a key to "improving the breed". By making the consumer of the workstation better able to understand what is good about it, what is not, and how to communicate about this in a meaningful way, the product will improve and evolution of the products will be more positively impacted.
