Re: [Hardhats-members] VistARad imaging
If I manage to remember, I am bringing a MacMini with the new chip to the meeting and I am looking for someone(s) who wants to compile GT.M on it. THEN we can run OsiriX with VistA. If you are really itching to do it, you can ssh into it while it sits at my house.

Re: [Hardhats-members] VistARad imaging
Those are the kind of things that really make me scratch my head. Surely, you don't need to be a radiologist (or practitioner of any sort) to figure out this isn't a good idea. Perhaps the developer couldn't figure out how to handle more than one monitor (OS limitations?) but STILL that is mind boggling. === Gregory Woodhouse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Judge a man by his questions not his answers." --Voltaire ___ Hardhats-members mailing list Hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hardhats-members
Re: [Hardhats-members] VistARad imaging
Mike, have a look at the OSIRIX project...it is one of the most successful open source imaging projects I am aware of, there are now 8,000 users according to their website. It's Mac based (works with the new Mac architecture) and apparently someone, somewhere in the VA has tried it out.

[Hardhats-members] VistARad imaging
Yesterday I had the pleasure(?) of an in-service on, VistARad, the new digital imaging program rolled out here at the Albany VA. It's a completely stand alone application, although it uses what looks like the CPRS login screen. There are a whole bunch of high resolution monitors set up in workstations of two or three. God knows what they cost! The ICU, Surgery Clinic, OR, and Radiology got the new workstations. We in ENT didn't rate. The application seems to have been designed by committee, but one which didn't include the users of the program. For example, despite the multiple monitor setup, even the Radiologist who demonstrated it didn't think it was capable of putting today's x-ray, CT or MRI on one monitor and last month's on the next monitor, for side-by-side comparisons. By default, it tiles the images vertically on a single monitor, which, in order to preserve proportions, results in the image being 1/4 size. However, since our clinic didn't get a workstation, I probably won't use the system anyway. On a related topic, most of the radiology groups in town are going "filmless", so patients are coming into my office with CD's instead of hard copies of CT scans. Aside from the fact that some of the embedded proprietary viewers don't work at all, even under Windows, none work under Linux. Most of the CDs seem to have DICOM images, though. Does anyone have any experience with any of the DICOM viewers under Linux, or interfacing them with VistA or CPRS?
