The advancement of computer applications in medicine continues to move at a breathtaking rate, and no discipline is more affected (or more at the cutting edge) than radiology.
|
| SCAR has been fortunate to have some of the leading researchers and adopters of these technologies within its constituency, and these experts have served as educators within SCAR University. The clinical and research topics of special interest to the members of SCAR continue to expand into new arenas such as computer-aided diagnosis, structured reporting, speech recognition, and strategies for review and interpretation of large and complex image datasets. |
| With the increasing adoption of digital radiography and PACS, filmless imaging is moving from an early adopter to an early majority phase. What was previously the exclusive domain of tertiary care academic facilities is now entering into the domain of small and medium sized community hospitals. As the electronic medical record also becomes a reality, these digital applications will become necessary components to achieve this paperless, filmless paradigm. |
| At the same time, our society has expanded its base to include healthcare professionals in a wide array of occupations including physicists, technologists, administrators, engineers, physicians, information technology specialists, and industry consultants. We welcome this expanded member base, which serves to facilitate the sharing of ideas across the entire healthcare spectrum. |
| In response to the rapid developments in the field, SCAR University continues to expand its curricula to meet these rapidly expanding educational challenges. We have added a number of new educational tracks to our program, while expanding the educational program to go above and beyond the annual meeting. Some of these new educational initiatives can be found on-line at www.scarnet.org, as well as in print with our primer series, which includes four publications to date (Security, Electronic Archive, Quality Assurance, and our newest addition on the topic of Electronic Reporting). |
| We would like to thank you for being an active member of SCAR University and hope you enjoy the meeting. We continue to look for new ways to meet your educational needs and welcome any suggestions or feedback you have to offer. |
