Radiologists, feast your eyes on this! Barco introduces toolset for more productive readings.
Posted on Thursday, December 4, 2014
Kortrijk, Belgium, 2 December 2014 — Healthcare visualization expert Barco has developed a set of productivity tools that work seamlessly with its high-end diagnostic display systems to increase focus during reading sessions, improve reading ergonomics, and accelerate radiologists’ workflow.
According to a recent study by independent healthcare research agency The MarkeTech Group, 77% of radiologists believe that efficient workflow has a major impact on the outcome of reading sessions. That’s why Barco has developed a set of software tools – built on AMD FireProTM technology and powered by Barco’s proprietary MXRT display controllers – to support radiologists with their increasingly busy and complex workload. 

“We have developed seven unique productivity tools specifically to target the three areas that have the largest impact on the workflow of radiologists: image quality, display system ergonomics, and ease of use,” says Becky Kiichle-Gross, Product Manager Display Controllers for Barco’s Healthcare division. “To focus display luminance on a certain part of the image, bring images and important study details together within your field of vision or have simple manipulations ready with the touch of a finger leads to operational efficiencies that, together, make a world of difference.” 


Focus on the details 
Stunning SpotViewTM technology focuses the light on lesions or abnormalities that require extra attention in the image. Especially helpful when viewing pediatric extremities, breast calcifications and chest images, SpotView supports the viewing of subtle differences in the image. Another tool called DimViewTM can be configured to automatically dim the auxiliary displays used for patient work lists or dictation. This reduces distracting peripheral light so radiologists can keep their focus on the details that really matter. 

Comfortable with consolidation 
SingleView (to view images on one bezel-free Fusion display) supports flexible layouts of studies and applications within the radiologist’s field of vision. VirtualViewTM helps bring all study data together on one display: work list information, dictation software, or even web-based applications can be mapped to a virtual display and shown on the primary screen when needed. 

This gives radiologists more real estate on the screen without the need for an additional display – saving space as well as cost, while providing them with more reading comfort as the applications limit the need for head and eye movement. These are not insignificant benefits, as studies show that 87% of radiologists suffer from physical discomforts such as eye strain and neck pain. 

Easy manipulation and collaboration 
Additional small, but powerful, tools are the programmable FindCursor hotkey to quickly locate and use the cursor on a workstation with multiple displays; and SmartCursor to instantly improve workflow on a multiple display system by eliminating places in the desktop where the cursor can get stuck. Additionally, Conference CloneView enables large-screen viewing of precise diagnostic images to facilitate collaboration. Ideal for academic symposiums, clinical training, and other group learning environments! 

Sneak preview at RSNA 
Barco’s productivity tools will be previewed at RSNA (Chicago, USA), from 30 November – 4 December, South Hall A, Booth #2706.
