Radiology-Based Facebook Game Goes Viral

By MedImaging International staff writers
Posted on 29 May 2012
A Facebook web application (app), developed initially to tackle the area of emergency radiology, is now becoming a popular, fast-paced game for radiologists who want to relax while fine-tuning their skills.

CEO and founder of the makers of the game, Ziltron (San Diego, CA, USA), John Ryan PhD, said, “We have released many serious apps and web-tools in the field of radiological performance and education, but with this venture we wanted to delve into the heart of what most humans crave--fun.”

The app, called X-Ray Ninja, is not just entertaining, however. Dr. Ryan is an expert in human observer performance. Moreover, together with an advisory board of Harvard University (Cambridge, MA, USA) professors and radiology leaders, Ziltron is raising serious professional interest in the field of radiology.

Alexander Norbash MD, professor and chairman of radiology at Boston Medical Center (MA, USA), commented, “I believe in Ziltron because Ziltron listens to what radiologists need, and delivers a unique and spectacular educational product.”

Not only is the audience for X-Ray Ninja expanding rapidly, the number of levels and complexity of the game is becoming enormous, with a range of planned add-ons.
