Ergonomics in Interventional Radiology: The Need of the Hour

Ergonomics, the science of designing a workplace that accommodates the worker's needs, is crucial in reducing the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in fields like interventional radiology (IR). Despite its importance, ergonomics has not been a primary focus in IR, leading to a significant number of work-related injuries. These injuries are not only detrimental to the health of the radiologists but also impact the efficiency and productivity of the medical services they provide. The limited awareness and scientific data on ergonomics in IR further exacerbate the issue.
