Sleep-Deprived radiologists: can eye tracking reveal fatigue?

NCT ID NCT07192380

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

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 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.
