Download or read book Teleradiology written by Sajeesh Kumar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-25 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developments in teleradiology are progressing at great speed. As a consequence, there is a need for a broad overview of the field. This first-ever book on teleradiology is presented in such a way that it should make it accessible to anyone, independent of their knowledge of technology. The text is designed to be used by all professionals, including radiologists, surgeons, nurses and allied health professionals, and computer scientists. In a very short time, driven by technical developments, the field of teleradiology has become too extensive to be covered by only a small number of experts. Therefore, Teleradiology has been written with chapter contributions from a host of renowned international authorities in teleradiology (see the Contents and the Contributors). This ensures that the subject matter focusing on recent advances in teleradiology is truly up to date. Our guiding hope during this task was that as editors of multiple chapters we could still write with a single voice and keep the content coherent and simple. We hope that the clarity of this book makes up for any limitations in its comp- hensiveness.

Download or read book The Practice of Radiology Education written by Teresa van Deven and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of radiology education: challenges and trends will provide truly helpful gu- ance for those of you involved in teaching and training in radiology. The goal of this book is ultimately to improve patient care. As a companion piece to the first book radiology education: the scholarship of teaching and learning, this book focuses on applying the concepts at a practical level that can be applied flexibly within educational programs for radiology residents and fellows in any medical imaging learning environment. This book focuses on the application of scholarship in terms of the “dissemination of useful, testable and reproducible information to others. ” It links educational theory with practice and for those of you who wish to explore educational practice further, a number of chapters s- gest additional readings and resources. The publication is timely and congruent with one of the most important twenty-first century trends in medical education: the move from amateurism to professionalism in teaching. In the past, medical schools and other health professions’ training institutions have been criticized for their resistance to the adoption of the science of medical edu- tion. Very few of us learned how to teach as medical students and most of us have our teaching responsibilities thrust on us with little preparation. The award of a basic medical degree was assumed to carry with it basic teaching expertise, unfortunately an unw- ranted assumption in some cases.

Download or read book How to be a More Efficient Radiologist A Guide to Practice Reporting and Workflow Optimization written by Long H. Tu and published by Salem Publishers. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Formal training in radiology focuses on the identification and characterization of abnormality. Such skills are necessarily, but not sufficient to thrive in modern practice. One of the greatest predictors of professional satisfaction and overall productivity for radiologists is work efficiency – a skill not often formally taught. This book provides a comprehensive review of techniques that a radiologist may use to improve work speed, without compromising quality. Small differences across many domains (e.g., image analysis, reporting, and communication) add up to large differences in work efficiency. Topics covered in this text include (though are not limited to): Why Developing Efficiency is a Training Priority Overarching Principles in Improving Efficiency PACS Interface Optimization Overview of Effective Reporting Efficient Dictation Tips Macro Optimization Macro Special Functions and Organization Educational Preparation (For Residents and Fellows) Workflow Organization (For Attendings and Practices) Physiological and Cognitive Optimization Environmental Optimization Hardware Optimization AutoHotKey and Macro Scripting Automation, Informatics, and Other Efficiencies The Future of Radiologic Efficiency Even if a hundred of hours of education early in one's career were required to develop a 1% improvement in speed, our estimates suggest that this would produce a greater than 500% return on investment in reclaimed hours and compensation over time. Most trainees and radiologists are likely to achieve far greater (10-100%) improvements in speed with dedicated efforts. Not all variation in efficiency is easily modified. However, the strategies we discuss can help radiologists hone their abilities to the greatest extent possible. This book can be a useful guide on your journey in becoming the best – most accurate, thoughtful, and efficient – radiologist you can be.
