Choosing a Radiology Workstation: Technical and Clinical Considerations¹

¹ From the Department of Radiology, University of Arizona, 1609 N Warren St, Tucson, AZ 85724 (E.A.K.), and the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Tampa, Fla (M.K.). Received August 19, 2005; revision requested October 21; revision received October 25; final version accepted December 16; final review by E.A.K. August 25, 2006. Address correspondence to E.A.K.

Choosing a workstation for daily use in the interpretation of digital radiologic images can be a daunting task. There are numerous products available on the market, but differentiating among them and deciding on what is best for a particular environment can be confusing and frustrating. There is no "one-size-fits-all" workstation, so users must consider a variety of factors when choosing a workstation. This review summarizes the critical elements in a radiology workstation and the characteristics one should be aware of and look for in the selection of a workstation. Issues pertaining to both hardware and software aspects of medical workstations, including interface design, are reviewed, particularly as they may affect the interpretation process.
