Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, MD, MPH, an anesthesiologist from Wisconsin, was voted president-elect of the American Medical Association (AMA) by physicians gathered at the Annual Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates.

“High-quality artificial intelligence-generated images preserve vital information from raw PET images without the additional radiation exposure from CT scans,” experts involved in the study explained.

In addition to the eBooks, study guides and a Virtual Hospital Platform simulator for hands-on training that were acquired, SIIM will now also own various “go to market” courses in subjects such as PACS, DICOM, HL7 and FHIR.

Voice-triggered macros are spoken voice commands that trigger a subsequent command in order to perform a specified task. Software that achieves this is easily implemented into workflows and can complete virtually innumerable tasks. 

Some decisions after a cyberattack are reactive and made on the fly, but imaging operations can take a number of steps ahead of time to plan for unplanned downtime and limit the impact of a temporary outage.
