| | Rethinking the Radiologist’s “Office”: The Digital Reading Environment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | In the simplest of terms, the radiologist is a human being, not a robot, and the interpretive environment in which he or she is expected to function must be defined in human terms. |
 | | Unfortunately, not all radiologists are built alike, and to expect several different radiologists to use such a room would be akin to expecting several people of differing heights and builds to drive the same car without adjusting the seat, steering wheel, or mirrors. |
 | | Simply put, the radiologist is in almost constant motion while he or she is reviewing films, moving toward the image to allow a magnifying glass to be used and scanning across a series of images with the head, neck and torso when more complex studies are reviewed. |
