Summary

This study looks at how working night shifts changes eye movements, attention, and the ability to spot blood clots in lung scans. Forty emergency radiologists will be tested after a night shift and after a good night's rest. They will do eye-tracking tasks, read CT scans, and wear EEG caps to measure brain activity. The goal is to understand how sleep loss affects visual performance and diagnostic accuracy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help develop tools to monitor fatigue in shift workers and improve diagnostic accuracy in medical imaging.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage observational study with only 40 participants. Results may not apply to other professions or settings, and the findings may not lead to practical changes.
