    Let’s conduct a quick thought experiment. We enter a time machine and set the controls for Connecticut in 2015. As luck would have it, we land in a meeting room of the imaging department at the Yale-New Haven Health system. There we overhear a conversation. Imaging aficionados that we are, we quickly realize two groups are present—IT leaders and ranking radiologists. It’s hard to make out the exact words through the time warp.
