If you’ve put off buying a handheld computer until displays and networking capabilities are improved, you may be depriving yourself of other features that can streamline your daily activities, according to an article in the July-August issue of RadioGraphics. Lead author Adam E. Flanders, M.D., a professor of neuroradiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, says radiologists are discovering the value of personal digital assistants (PDAs) for personal information management. “You can carry all your contacts, appointments, research data, memos and a reference library with you at all times,” says Dr. Flanders, a member of the RSNA Electronic Com-munications Committee (ECC). Dr. Flanders points out that PDAs certainly are familiar to residents, who use them to better coordinate clinical schedules, maintain procedure logs and use a repository of teaching/reference material. “Reference material stored on a PDA has become the preferred method for residents to take notes on the run and to maintain lists of differential diagnoses instead of carrying a cumbersome handbook or textbook,” he says.
