n
June, Boston was the host city for the 2003 Symposium for Computer
Applications in Radiology, an annual national conference that brings
engineers, scientists, radiologists and technologists together to
advance the use of information technology in medical imaging. For
the first time, Children's
Department of Radiology played several important roles in the
event.
S. Ted Treves, MD, chief of Nuclear Medicine,
chaired a panel on picture archiving and communication systems (PACS).
Treves, along with panel co-chair John Speziale, director of Radiology
Information Technology, David Kirshner, chief financial officer,
and experts from other area teaching hospitals, led over 500 attendees
in a discussion on how to share and view radiological images throughout
a large institution.
In addition, members of the Nuclear Medicine and Radiology departments,
including Sharon Antiles, MPH, William Tellier, and D. Benét Gaytos,
presented papers at the symposium, and Children’s staff led tours
to demonstrate the hospital’s PACS system and voice recognition
technology.
