Modern Radiology Face Ergonomic and Visual Health Risks Beyond Radiation

Radiology's digital transformation brings musculoskeletal strain, eye strain, and burnout. A broader safety framework addressing ergonomic, visual, and organizational hazards is needed alongside radiation protection.

• Evidence is largely cross-sectional and survey-based; longitudinal studies are lacking, so causal claims should be interpreted cautiously.
• Proposed interventions include workstation ergonomics, structured microbreaks, daylight-aware reading rooms, and workload reduction.
• Future research should evaluate whether interventions improve health outcomes, diagnostic performance, and retention.
