Also, there are many other metrics one could measure besides reading efficiency and interobserver variation. The most valuable metric for me in this study was the decrease in tedium while reading the last 50 exams in my worklist. :)The Samurai Radiologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821218260930916714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439893903732515728.post-90628552830988345792009-07-13T23:28:39.269-07:002009-07-13T23:28:39.269-07:00Surely your study remains incomplete until a secon...Surely your study remains incomplete until a second radiologist grades your reading accuracy under each aural regime!<br /><br />Not that I'm questioning what I know are your high levels of accuracy...David W.

Some patients may have multiple films per day, especially if they have multiple line placements. We also have multiple ICU's in our large trauma hospital: a medical ICU, a surgical ICU, a trauma ICU and finally a burn unit. It all adds up.The Samurai Radiologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821218260930916714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439893903732515728.post-91449386262739805812009-07-13T07:21:14.690-07:002009-07-13T07:21:14.690-07:00Interesting post.

I am now profoundely deaf but when I was just HOH(!) and working as an x-ray tech I used to hate it when surgeons and/or interventional rads would have music playing. I found it distracting as well as impairing my ability to hear. Of couse mood is affected by the music you are listening to and so one person's exhilarating Ride of the Valkyries turned my adrenalin into fear. <br /><br />I know choosing music for all doesn't apply when you are working alone, but surely intricate calm music would be better for concentration than Wagner?<br /><br />Incidentally, 200 ICU films in one weekend? How big is that ICU?mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017032572578475838noreply@blogger.com
