Coming Up For Air
Here it is February. Where did January go? For that matter, where did December go? My bad! I've been so negligent with keeping my site up to date. It's not that I was chasing snow or anything. I've been very busy with a number of projects; two separate RFPs for Radiology PACS, a Project Plan for a large multi-site health system, and a PACS-neutral Archive project.
I really did want to publish a commentary or two on my RSNA '07 observations. There certainly was plenty of inspirational Material.
- GE finally has a decent Radiology PACS (through acquisition). Now what?
- A number of vendors start talking about PACS-neutral archives, but you really have to look hard for the vendors, and then look even harder for anyone who can speak to the subject.
- It's truly amazing how few vendors consider themselves DICOM-conformant, yet they do not support DICOM Presentation States.
- Apparently 3 MP color display panels are now the norm in Diagnostic display stations.
- The problem with proprietary data/object formats, their impact long after data migration
- The beauty of media-neutral storage solutions
- Cost-effective Business Continuity Solutions, so much more than data back-up
- Double-check that quote configuration, because there are lots of hidden costs that sneak into the picture at contract time.
