CT interpretation on an iPad enabled accurate identification of pulmonary embolism, equivalent to display on the PACS. This mobile device has the potential to expand radiologists’ availability for consultation and expedite emergency patient management.
This blog provides information on conferences and novelties in the area of Medical Imaging Informatics (MII). MII has a broad scope ranging from the Radiology Information System and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) to Advanced Visualization and Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD). To find new opportunities in healthcare we need to look at informatics solutions in other areas to apply them into the medical field to achieve higher level healthcare at lower costs.

iPad as good in interpretation of pulmonary embolism as PACS workstation
The iPad is gaining ground in medical imaging. In a recent (online) publication in the journal Emergency Radiology entitled "The iPad as a mobile device for CT display and interpretation: diagnostic accuracy for identification of pulmonary embolism", the authors demonstrated the use of iPad interpretation of CT scans in patients suspected with Pulmonary Embolism. They conclude that:
