Positive and Negative Free-Text Comments on Use of SmartSimulator

Positive commentsNegative comments
By actually operating image processing, I was able to deepen my understanding of work in nuclear medicine technologyI felt that speed of training should have been slowed down a bit (because it was difficult to use computer)
It was great to be able to actually experience image processing by operating PCOn instructor’s preview screen, some parts were difficult to understand because text on screen was small
It was difficult, but I managed to understand itI would like there to be improvements to PC operation screen as it was difficult to see, and cursor position was sometimes difficult to see
Practical training was a little difficult, so I wanted to write report while reviewing itAfter doing practical training, I realized that image processing in nuclear medicine technology is difficult
Content of training itself was very good, and I gained a lot of knowledge through experienceMouse response on my PC was poor, and it was difficult to make detailed adjustments
When I started working as a radiologic technologist, I realized that I wanted to be involved in nuclear medicine examinationsIt was difficult to understand because characters in simulator are written in English
It’s difficult to use PC, but it’s fun once you get used to it
Thank you
I learned that image processing filters, etc., can be devised to make images easier to see
It was great to be able to interact with images that are different from CT and MRI
I was able to understand how to process images by performing operations myself
It was a good experience, as I had never used a simulator before
It was easy to understand differences between various images after image processing
