1. A multi-touch sensing device for use with a radiological workstation capable of displaying radiological images, the device comprising:
- a touch screen communicatively coupled with the radiological workstation via a controller, the touch screen adapted to display a work area that includes at least one of;
a first sensing area adapted to receive touch gestures from a first hand of a user; and
a second sensing area adapted to receive touch gestures from a second hand of the user; and
wherein touch gestures received from the user via the multi-touch sensing device execute functions controlling a medical imaging application executable on the radiological workstation, the medical imaging application adapted to allow a user to analyze radiological images displayed by the radiological workstation.
