RADIOLOGY WORKFLOW CONSOLE
A safety-critical interface for guiding radiology teams from patient readiness to scan execution with clarity, hierarchy, and minimal visual distraction.
THE CHALLENGE
Designing for focus under complexity
Radiology workflows require teams to move through multiple stages while monitoring patient readiness, safety constraints, protocol details, and scan progress.
High cognitive load
Multiple pieces of information and decisions need to be processed throughout the workflow.
Visual distraction
Secondary information should remain accessible without competing with critical tasks.
Safety-critical decisions
Warnings, blocked conditions, and workflow states need to be immediately distinguishable without overwhelming the operator.
THE APPROACH
A workflow-first console
Instead of designing individual screens independently, the experience was structured around the sequence of decisions required before and during a scan.
Progressive information hierarchy
Each stage surfaces the information needed for that moment, while secondary details remain available without dominating the workspace.
Clear workflow states
Progress, readiness, warnings, and blocked conditions are communicated through consistent hierarchy and state indicators.
A low-distraction visual system
A restrained dark interface, controlled contrast, and purposeful use of colour help critical information stand out while keeping the overall environment visually calm.
DESIGN SHOWCASE
DESIGNING THE WORKFLOW
01 — FROM READINESS TO SAFETY
The workflow begins by confirming that the patient, exam, and system are ready before moving into safety-critical checks.
02 — FROM PROTOCOL TO EXECUTION
Once safety requirements are cleared, the operator validates the imaging protocol and moves into live scan execution.
DESIGN OUTCOME
Clearer workflow. Stronger hierarchy.
The console is structured around distinct workflow stages, helping teams focus on the information and decisions relevant to the moment.
Clearer workflow progression
The experience follows a clear sequence from readiness and safety validation through scan execution and review.
Stronger visual hierarchy
Critical states, warnings, and actions are prioritized through contrast, placement, and progressive disclosure.
A scalable console foundation
A consistent interface system creates a foundation for extending the workflow across additional radiology tasks and modalities.
