In this episode, hosts Mohannad, Prasanth, and Jason interview Teri Sippel Schmidt and Dr. Raym Geis about the Clinical Data Informatics initiative at SIIM. At its heart Clinical Data Informatics focuses on the use of tools such as Machine Learning algorithms, systems engineering, and medical imaging in sophisticated ways to derive insights and drive decision making for both clinical and business cases. Our guests introduce the series of videos developed in collaboration with SIIM. The discussion looks at the unique intersection of these disciplines and the need for a deep and broad understanding to create robust processes. Since January 2022, the team has provided educational videos from a curated group of CDI faculty to better understand the fundamentals of medical practice, imaging data, and data science. Teri Sippel Schmidt is an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins Medicine and Marquette University. She serves on multiple boards at SIIM. She is a frequent guest of the podcast and has been very active in t

In this episode, hosts Mohannad and Prasanth interview Brad Genereaux about his chapter on Standards and Interoperability in the new edition of PII. Going beyond the #alphabetsoup of the important standards that govern the imaging informatics world, the discussion covers a brief history of the development of standards, such as DICOM, HL7, IHE, and looks at how they shape the landscape of the Imaging Enterprise. Indeed, awareness of these standards is even essential in deciding whether to adopt them, particularly when looking through the lens of deployment, maintenance and support, and eventual upgrade paths for the enterprise. In addition to developing richly integrated enterprises, standards play a crucial role in ensuring data portability. Brad highlights the working groups and their interactions with the community to maintain and improve these standards. Brad Genereaux is Medical Imaging and Smart Hospitals Alliance Manager at NVIDIA, and has a keen focus on accelerating artificial intelligence, visualizat

In this episode, hosts @mohannadhussain and Prasanth chat with @sylviadevlin about downtime procedures. Whether planned or unplanned, there are many steps that can be taken to mitigate these (mostly) unavoidable events. While most agree that effective planning, monitoring, and communication/follow-up are key to successful execution, the nuances of how to optimize these can be challenging for even an experienced CIIP. System fortification for maximum uptime and seamless failover, detailed scripts for individual systems and processes, and templates for end-user communication are just a few of the topics covered in this deep dive. Sylvia Devlin has worked in medical imaging for more than half her life and there is no stopping her now. She started as one of the Radiology Department front desk clerk’s after graduating high school while going to medical radiography school. After graduating, Sylvia enjoyed working in various imaging areas but always had a keen interest in pursuing information systems and PACS. Sylvi

PIIRT Chapter 7 - Data Storage Jay Crawford In this episode, hosts Mohannad and Prasanth interview Jay Crawford about data storage technologies discussed in Chapter 7 of the second edition of PIIRT. These core concepts are critical for understanding not only issues of business continuity and disaster recovery, but also system performance, latency, and resource provisioning. The discussion covers storage standards and technologies such as RAID, as well as the change in storage utilization with advent of evolving storage media architectures going from magnetooptical, spinning platter, solid state, and tape archives. In particular, the transition from storage silos to enterprise imaging coincided with an explosion of storage needs for the next generation scanners, modalities such as Tomosynthesis, cardiology, pathology, dermatology, clinical research, comprising unique business with disparate storage needs, and datatypes, where the Vendor Neutral Archive pardigm has become the de facto standard. Jay Crawford is

In this episode, hosts Ali, Mohannad, Jason, and Prasanth chat with Chris Hafey, Dr. Jason Hostetter, and Dr. Simon Rascovsky about the Imaging Informatics Open Community Meetups -- an open format meeting with short discussions on any topics related to Medical Imaging. Participants include software developers, clinicians, technologists and PACS administrators, researchers, and a "sprinkling" of vendors. These meetings started informally mid-2020 and give participants a way to meet without any predetermined agenda to ask questions, brainstorm new ideas, share about new projects or any other topics that are related to open-source medical imaging!
