Abstract

During our design of a workstation for diagnostic radiology, and having studied other designs being produced either commercially or institutionally, it became evident that a number of questions existed regarding the number and physical arrangement of CT images which a radiologist likes to have during interpretation. We wished to answer the questions about number and physical arrangement, and at the same time, determine how much difference there was concerning these parameters among the subspecialty sections. We approached this problem by using different numbers and arrangements of CT scan images presented to the radiologist on film. This paper will discuss the findings of this study, and explain some of the reasons given by the radiologists for their answers. The implications for workstation designs will also be discussed.
