Let's Use Cognitive Science to Create Collaborative Workstations

When informed by an understanding of cognitive science, radiologists' workstations could become collaborative to improve radiologists' performance and job satisfaction. The authors review relevant literature and present several promising areas of research, including image toggling, eye tracking, cognitive computing, intelligently restricted messaging, work habit tracking, and innovative input devices. The authors call for more research in “perceptual design,” a promising field that can complement advances in computer-aided detection.
