Tech advances bolster use of PDAs by radiology residents.

The article discusses the usage of personal digital assistants (PDA) as a medical tool. Surveys show that radiology residents are leading the adoption of PDAs, and they are expected to maintain their interest as the technology matures. Future refinements could make PDAs even more useful. They can already record voice clips, and in the future. A solution to relatively low display resolution could involve devices that project images on a larger surface. The PDA could ultimately become a portable office that offers radiologists access to everything they need.
