Smart phone apps for radiologists are on the rise. Not only do they assist the radiologist in reference to information but they can also aid in their day-to-day functioning too most notably through DICOM viewers.The visual nature of radiology makes the specialty a promising area for smartphone app development.
Teaching (e.g. flashcards, questions, revision guides/notes, textbooks, cases, tutorials/talks, etc.) and reference (e.g. guidelines, cancer staging, radiology positioning guides, scanning protocols, glossaries, calculators, converters, etc.) apps count for 79% of radiology apps
