Joe Marion, whose three decades in the imaging informatics arena have given him long-term perspective, shares his thoughts on this year’s conference
I think Siemens [the Malvern, Pa.-based Siemens Healthcare] provides a prime example of how that might work; they bought the toolkit from Radimetrics and put it under the covers as their own tool, just as they did with Nuance with voice recognition. Also, the dose management element interfaces with the modality, and the analytics element interfaces with the RIS.
So will the larger vendors create their own under-the-covers capability in this area, then?
Yes, McKesson [the Alpharetta, Ga.-based McKesson Corporation]and GE [the Chalfont-St. Giles, U.K.-based GE Healthcare] have built their own solutions in that area.
