Nagios is a host and service monitor designed
to alert a facility to network problems before clients, end-users or
managers complain. The monitoring daemon runs intermittent checks on
hosts and services specified using external "plugins," which return
status information to Nagios. When problems are encountered, the daemon
can send notifications out to administrative contacts in a variety of
different ways (email, instant message, SMS, etc.).
A Wiki is a type of computer software that
allows users to easily create, edit and link web pages. Wikis are often
used to create collaborative websites and power community websites, and
are increasingly being installed by businesses to provide affordable and
effective intranets or for use in knowledge management.

The eXtensible Imaging Platform (XIP) is a set of visual ‘drag
and drop’ programming tools and associated libraries for the
rapid development of imaging and visualization applications. The
tools include modules tailored for medical imaging, many of
which are hardware accelerated (OpenGL). They also provide a
friendlier environment for utilizing popular toolkits such as
ITK and VTK. Through the XIP tools, developers can create
applications that utilize the coming Application Hosting
interfaces from DICOM WG-23. The XIP tools also provide a reference
implementation of a DICOM WG-23 Hosting System for
running those applications.

DICOM Calibration Educational Demo - Room 606
Instructors:
Kenneth A. Fetterly, PhD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester
Michael J. Flynn, PhD, Henry Ford Health System
Session 1: Friday, May 16th, 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Session 2: Saturday, May 17, 8:00 am - 9:30 am
Calibration of the luminance output
of liquid crystal displays is necessary to ensure the consistent
presentation of medical images. This session will introduce the
participant to the theory and practice of display calibration via
the DICOM Grayscale Standard Display Function. Opportunity for
“hands-on” interaction with calibration software will be provided.
Also, the speakers for this session will be available for
independent discussion of the theory and practice of calibrating
both grayscale and color displays.
