Health Imaging & IT - April 2008 - (Page 28) The Perfect Reading Room: Doing It Your Way Characteristics of the Perfect Reading Room cont’d › Chair height Chair height and armrests should be adjustable. “Your forearms should be parallel to the ground and your wrists should be straight,” says Hirshorn. “The armrests should be at the same level as the desk.” › DesK aDJustMents Herbst’s adjustable workstation allows him to work sitting down during the day and then to work standing up later in the day, when he needs a change from sitting down. A desk, table or workstation that permits adjustment of its overall height as well as adjusting the height at which the keyboard and mouse sit is vital, says Hirshorn. Siegel notes that his laboratory is testing a new system designed to model a treadmill, where a radiologist could stand, walk slowly or walk more quickly while reading images. afC dual-tier Carl’s table from anthro › teMperature ControL Because temperature and ventilation are so personal to each radiologist, Siegel recommends that each reading area have individual controls that can be adjusted for both temperature and the level of ventilation. “Some people really like air blowing on them; others hate it,” says Siegel. “So it’s important to allow each radiologist some control over ventilation and temperature when they are interpreting scans.” Herbst has an entirely separate part of his office building for him and another part for his assistant where each can independently adjust both the temperature and ventilation controls. “She likes it much warmer than I do, so this way we each can set the temperature for exactly how we want it,” he says. 28 Health Imaging & IT | april 2008 Healthimaging.com http://Healthimaging.com
