This session will serve as an “ask the Experts” formatted discussion, allowing for more details of the important imaging informatics topics of these image intensive specialties, as well as image use outside of PACS. This interactive session will allow the audience to interact with specialists in these image intensive fields to explore the similarities and differences of their imaging informatics problems. These specialties each have unique problems to solve in their own transition from hard copy to filmless image utilization and incorporation into data systems.
There are also important issues of the utilization of images existing outside of PACS, such as DICOM and non-DICOM images, and their integration into EMRs, image visualization, and collaboration tools. Imaging informatics is expanding outside the historical discussion of solely the radiology department, to include not only surgical specialties, but also cardiology, pathology, ophthalmology, and life science imaging. |
