Wireless networking capabilities of current state-of-the-art handheld computers provide a platform for real-time patient management. For example, the wireless-enabled personal digital assistant (PDA) allows medical and nursing staff to access electronic patient records. The tablet PC is a newly developed handheld computer that has larger display than a PDA. This may be useful in radiological image review. A test of this concept involved the observer performance in the interpretation of the abdominal plain radiograph for patients with suspicious urolithiasis. Detection of urolithiasis on a tablet PC was compared to soft-copy reading at a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) workstation. No statistically significant difference could be detected between the two observational modalities. The current small-scale study supports the use of the tablet PC in the review of high resolution computed radiographs in some clinical applications without compromise of the diagnostic accuracy.[SDGs]SDG3abdominal radiography; adult; aged; article; computer assisted radiography; computer program; diagnostic accuracy; electronic medical record; evaluation; female; human; intravenous urography; major clinical study; male; medical staff; microcomputer; nursing staff; patient care; performance; personal digital assistant; urolithiasisjournal article2-s2.0-31644438085
