Re-Imagining Medical Imaging IT in a Flattened World: Meaningful Innovation and Translation

Paul J. Chang, MD, FSIIM
Vice Chairman, Radiology Informatics
University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine

The successful translation of medical imaging IT innovation into clinical practice has been an important contributor to improvements in efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and therapeutic outcomes. However, an explosion in rising expectations and requirements in an increasingly complex health care environment with decreasing resources requires significant improvements in the translation of medical imaging IT innovation into the clinical environment. Dr. Chang describes improved models for collaboration and intergration and point to the SIIM 2012 Annual Meeting showcase of education, applications, and activities nurturing "Strategic Innovation through Enterprise Image Management" and the next wave of informaticists.

Radiation Dose in the Clinical Environment: Benefit and Risk

J. Anthony Seibert, PhD, FSIIM
Professor, Imaging Research Center, UC Davis Medical Center

Rebecca Smith-Bindman, MD
Professor, Departments of Radiology & Biomedical Imagining, Epidemiology & Biostatistics, Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Medicine
University of California, San Francisco

Issues of radiation dose for medical procedures have been in the news over the past two years, and with the heightened public awareness, significant attention has been generated in terms of the risk of medical imaging studies using x-rays. General questions often asked are: What is dose? How accurate is the dose metric generated by CT scanners? What about optimized protocols and justification of procedures? Dr. J. Anthony Seibert, PhD, FSIIM, discusses efforts being made by institutions that are beginning to answer these questions, as well as what needs to be done in the immediate future to manage benefit and risk ratios.
