Background
There are many tools available today free of cost,
and freely available,
that are user-friendly,
require no prior experience of developing software and can enable any radiologist to exponentially improve their performance.
The need of such tools stems from the fact that:
- Many times radiologists need to segment out some structures from their images,
and often doing it themselves is faster and more accurate
- Sometime images need to be pulled from PACS,
or reports need to be pulled from RIS.
Often radiologists rely on others (IT,
transcriptionists etc.) - doing it themselves can speed up this process.
- For those indulging in research,
knowing such tools can speed up the process of data collection and often analysis.
We describe such tools.
