Many radiology residency programs lack computer facilities, impacting computer education. Even when available, computers are often underutilized by residents, despite perceived importance.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Radiology Informatics

Background:

  • Computers are increasingly vital in radiology education and research.
  • Assessing current computer integration in U.S. radiology residency programs is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate computer availability, education, and utilization in U.S. radiology residency programs.
  • To gauge perceptions regarding the importance of computer literacy for residents.

Main Methods:

  • A survey was distributed to all U.S. radiology residency programs.
  • 132 out of 210 programs (63% response rate) provided data on computer equipment, software, resident use, and opinions.
  • Inquiries covered facilities, software, and perceived importance of computer literacy.

Main Results:

  • 69% of programs have computer facilities; 61% are within the department.
  • Predominant uses include scientific papers and presentations; popular software includes word processing and spreadsheets.
  • 85% of programs with computers offer education, with 70% deeming it very important. However, 60% of these programs report underutilization by residents.

Conclusions:

  • A significant minority of radiology residency programs lack essential computer facilities.
  • Programs with computers emphasize education, but resident utilization remains low.
  • Enhancing computer access and integration is necessary for modern radiology training.
