The investigation is carried out at the radiology department. Patiënten die hier röntgenfoto's hebben laten maken, moeten nu in sommige, complexe gevallen dagenlang op de uitslag wachten. Patients who have X-rays, it must be now in some complex cases for days waiting for the outcome.

Professor Jos Bredek, who supervises the students expect that by using the PlayStation as the time were only a few hours. Hij acht het niet uitgesloten dat op lange termijn de röntgenfoto's binnen een paar minuten al af te lezen zijn. He does not exclude that long-term X-rays within a few minutes all to read.

The students are now working on creating special programs for the PlayStation. De verwachting is dat ze hier eind dit jaar mee klaar zijn en dat de spelcomputer dan door de afdeling radiologie in gebruik kan worden genomen om de gedigitaliseerde foto's sneller zichtbaar te maken. The expectation is that they are ready at the end of this year and that the game than by the radiology department can be used to reduce the digital photos quickly visible.
