 SIIM 2008 Final Program
Now available!

^New!  The 3rd Annual "RIDE-TO-SIIM" is just around the corner!
 

It's not too late to make a pledge to help us raise money for the SIIM Research Grant Fund. We're looking for as many per-mile pledges as we can find! Since we estimate the round-trip from Chicago at over 4000 miles, a 1 penny per mile pledge will translate into a $40.00 tax deductible donation to SIIM. Ten cents a mile will raise $400. A one dollar a mile pledge will not only get you a $4000 deduction but also an autographed glossy photograph (and DICOM image file) of you sitting on one of the motorcycles, surrounded by the riders. SEND PLEDGES BY E-MAIL TO SIIM. Please be sure to send complete contact information. SIIM will contact you after the ride to make arrangements for payment and to get you your tax letter. Contributions to the SIIM Grant Program, a 501c(3) organization, is tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowable by law.

See how much fun we had in 2006 on the Ride to SCAR 2006 in Austin. Our theme this year is "High Plains Driftin' for a Fistful of Dollars". We will cross the Rockies and the Cascades and hope to pass through Glacier National Park. We are leaving Chicagoland on Friday, May 9, 2008 at the crack of dawn. Dave Channin and Alex Kogan will blog the trip at http://xray-reflections.blogspot.com.

Imaging informatics practitioners in all capacities are invited to Seattle in May for the SIIM 2008 Annual Meeting.

Are you a physician? Imaging informatics professional? Health care CIO? Whatever your profession or area of expertise, SIIM 2008 is the meeting for you if you are interested in imaging technology and in coming together with experts in this exciting field to connect, share, and grow.

This year marks the 25th meeting on computer applications in medical imaging. In 1966, it was known as the Symposium for Computer Applications in Radiology and it has now evolved into the Annual Meeting of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine. For 25 years, it has been the principal meeting in the field bringing together physicians, researchers, technologists, imaging informatics professionals, health care administrators, IT professionals, and vendors in a dynamic and collegial setting.

The SIIM Annual Meeting provides a vibrant community and collegial forum for networking with peers and thought leaders in the field of imaging informatics. At SIIM 2008, you will find a comprehensive educational and scientific program that is widely considered the best in the field for those seeking professional growth, networking, and the latest knowledge and science in imaging informatics.

Of particular note this year are new program features: invited speakers for extended presentations of select scientific papers; an open source “plug fest”; and hands-on learning labs exploring topics such as DVTK, XIP, Nagios & Wikis. SIIM 2008 also features the sixth year of the highly rated Imaging Informatics Professionals Symposium.

For those who are purchasing or upgrading equipment, the SIIM exhibit hall is second-to-none in terms of immediate access to top vendors. Check out our new online exhibit hall guide.

Don’t miss out – plan now to join SIIM and your imaging informatics colleagues in Seattle!
