Although radiologists have kept pace with the dramatic growth of medical imaging during the past two decades through the use of PACS, digital dictation, and 3-dimensional reconstruction, radiology is approaching the point of diminishing returns. As reimbursements further decline, attempts to increase radiologists' productivity risk commoditization ...

Rationale and Objectives We hypothesize that the current practice of radiology produces oculomotor fatigue that reduces diagnostic accuracy. Materials and Methods Testing this hypothesis requires an ability to measure eyestrain. We develop this capability by measuring visual accommodation of radiologists before and after diagnostic viewing work usi...

One hundred thirty-one radiologists at three Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) registries completed a survey about their characteristics, clinical practices, and attitudes related to screening mammography. Survey resul...
