Future of Medical Imaging: Podcast & Video
Mayo Clinic and IBM are teaming up in a new center for medical imaging. A video and podcast are available here on the Healthnex blog. More information is available in the IBM Press Room including a white paper ("Real-Time Mutual-Information-Based Linear Registration on the Cell Broadband Engine Processor") and PowerPoint presentations.
What is the future of medical imaging? With lower cost storage, more robust networks in hospitals and faster processors, many of the previous barriers are being broken down. This is confirmed by the growth of remote radiology. But the Mayo Clinic/IBM initiative demonstrates an innovation at another level with future real-time imaging which may benefit transplant or interoperative interventions.

(sigh) another article about medical imaging with only Radiology mentioned. Hello? What about Cardiology's digital echo's? Pathology's digital slide scanning? Or the video/stills produced by our Zeiss in neurosurgery?

Its amazing how fast medical imaging has grown in just a few years time. We are just beginning to see the fruits of the technology. Its possible benefits are far reaching and only limited by our imagination.
