The purpose of this study was to assess residents' usage patterns and opinions of the iPad as a tool for radiology education and clinical practice at an academic medical center.
All 38 radiology residents in our radiology program (postgraduate years 2 to 5) were provided with iPad 2 tablets and subscriptions to e-Anatomy and STATdx. After 6 months of device use, residents were surveyed to assess their opinions regarding the technology as a tool for education and clinical practice.
A total of 36 residents (95%) completed the survey. Eighty-six percent reported daily iPad use. Radiology-specific applications, particularly e-Anatomy, were used weekly or daily by 88% of respondents. Most preferred to read journal articles on the iPad (70%), but the number of respondents preferring to read textbooks on the iPad (48.5%) compared with the traditional bound form (48.5%) was evenly divided. Residents were also divided on the clinical utility of the iPad. Most had not used the iPad to view radiologic examinations (75%). Fewer than half (47%) used their iPads during readout. Finally, only 12% had used the iPad to edit dictated reports.
The iPad has generated excitement within the radiology community, particularly among resident educators, who are increasingly recognizing the unique needs of "millennial learners." This study showed that the majority of residents at the authors' institution have incorporated the iPad as an educational tool and use it as a learning aid. Incorporation of the iPad into clinical workflow has been less pronounced.
本研究旨在评估住院医师将 iPad 作为学术医疗中心放射学教育和临床实践工具的使用模式和意见。
我们放射学项目中的 38 名住院医师（研究生 2 至 5 年级）都配备了 iPad 2 平板电脑和 e-Anatomy 和 STATdx 的订阅服务。在使用设备 6 个月后，对住院医师进行调查，以评估他们对该技术作为教育和临床实践工具的看法。
共有 36 名住院医师（95%）完成了调查。86%的人报告每天使用 iPad。88%的受访者每周或每天使用放射科专用应用程序，尤其是 e-Anatomy。大多数人更喜欢在 iPad 上阅读期刊文章（70%），但选择在 iPad 上阅读教科书的受访者（48.5%）与选择传统装订形式的受访者（48.5%）人数相当。住院医师对 iPad 的临床实用性也存在分歧。大多数人尚未使用 iPad 查看放射学检查（75%）。不到一半（47%）的人在读取时使用 iPad。最后，只有 12%的人使用 iPad 编辑口述报告。
iPad 在放射科社区引起了轰动，特别是在住院医师教育者中，他们越来越认识到“千禧一代学习者”的独特需求。本研究表明，作者所在机构的大多数住院医师已将 iPad 用作教育工具，并将其用作学习辅助工具。将 iPad 纳入临床工作流程的程度较低。
