The following will be featured:
In addition to the above, technology updates will be presented on workstations, CR and DR, digital mammography, handling large data sets and optimizing the display of information. Based on the popularity of the “Ask the Experts” panels held at PACS 2007, DHIMS 2008 will feature 8 panels allowing attendees to question our nationally-recognized faculty on the various problem areas. The faculty will present both positive and negative experiences of operating in a digital environment. Attendees will have "hands-on" opportunities of working with and viewing the technical offerings of exhibitors. Side-by-side comparisons of workstations, monitors, products and services is a great way to see that many offerings may look similar but the impact of workflow, productivity and intuitiveness of the applications may be quite different.
