RESUMO
La sustitución de la película convencional y los negatoscopios por monitores y ordenadores en los nuevos sistemas PACS ha cambiado por completo los puestos de trabajo en los servicios de radiodiagnóstico, suponiendo un avance claro en este campo. Estos sistemas ofrecen muchas ventajas como la mejora de la productividad de los radiólogos al reducir de forma global el tiempo necesario para la interpretación de imágenes. Por otro lado, su implantación ha provocado que factores como la posición de la silla y la mesa de trabajo, el ratón, el teclado, los monitores y el tipo de iluminación de la habitación cobren una especial relevancia para prevenir lesiones que puedan inhabilitar al radiólogo. La influencia de estos factores es habitualmente poco valorada a la hora de la planificación e implantación de los puestos de trabajo radiológico. El presente trabajo aporta recomendaciones para el correcto diseño de los mismos, basados en los datos aportados por la ergonomía, que es la ciencia que estudia su influencia en la actividad humana (AU)
The replacement of conventional films and view boxes with digital images and computer monitors managed by PACS has clearly improved the diagnostic imaging workplace. The new setup has many advantages, including increased productivity brought about by decreased overall time required for image interpretation. On the other hand, the implementation of the digital workplace has increased the importance of factors like background lighting and the position of the chair, work table, mouse, keyboard, and monitor to prevent lesions that can disable the radiologist. The influence of these factors is often undervalued in the design and implementation of the radiological workplace. This article provides recommendations for the design of the radiological workplace based on ergonomics, which is the science that studies interactions among humans and other elements of a system (AU)
