This month, we are adding a feature to the Journal of Digital Imaging (JDI) called “Point/Counterpoint” in which invited authors explore a controversial topic from different viewpoints. This feature was developed by Paul Nagy, Ph.D., our newest Associate Editor. The debate featured in this month’s Point/Counterpoint tackles the topic of ownership of Radiology Information Technology and picture archiving and communication system. The authors debating the issue are David Channin, M.D., and George Bowers, M.B.A. You will be able to comment on this and other future topics on our blog at blogs.springer.com/jdi.
The Society for Imaging and Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) and JDI are jumping into social networking on Facebook and LinkedIn. If you join Facebook at http://www.facebook.com and then search for the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine, you will find our fledgling group and will be allowed to join where we can exchange ideas and many solutions to day-to-day issues. If you join LinkedIn.com, you will find a nicely organized professional site where you will be able to keep in touch with many people who share your interests. One of the groups available for you to join is SIIM and another is the Certified Imaging Informatics Professional group. Of course, you will then find other groups with different interests and will enjoy them as well. I like to work in stained glass and fused glass and found several groups to join where I can share ideas and learn new techniques.
