Poor UX for medical systems is something that has always baffled me. I used to work for one of the major CT system manufacturers (although on the firmware end of things). I never understood why a hospital would willingly pay a seven figures price tag for a medical imaging system that comes with an early 90s GUI.

Ultimately, it is not the radiologists or technologists who make this decision. From a purely technical point of view, modern systems hardly differ from each other, at least as far as diagnosis is concerned. The fact that a better UX means new users need less training and the time between scan and diagnosis is reduced are hardly taken into account when making a purchase decision.
