Radiology workstations for the future

摘要

Abstract: Researchers around the world are developing computer workstations designed to enable radiologists to display and process radiologic images in a single integrated environment. For the first time in 1992, the RSNA Electronic Communications Committee sponsored an infoRAD Workstation Exhibit at RSNA '92, the scientific assembly and annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America. The purpose of the exhibit was to demonstrate new developments in workstations to attendees of RSNA '92, to offer hands-on experience with a variety of workstation functionalities and user interfaces, and to provide a hands-on refresher course on workstations. The infoRAD workstation exhibit was a noncommercial, educational exhibit comprised of 12 workstation exhibits designed by university-affiliated researchers. Each exhibitor had the opportunity to lecture about his or her research in one of the theaters set up in the infoRAD exhibit area. A questionnaire was distributed to attendees to assess the value of the workstation exhibits. !0
