Imaging Informatics Professionals (IIPs) have come to play an
indispensable role in modern medicine, and the scope of this profession
has grown far beyond the boundaries of the PACS. A successful IIP must
not only understand the PACS itself, but also have knowledge of clinical
workflow, a base in several medical specialties, and a solid IT
capability regarding software interactions and networking. With the
introduction of a certification test for the IIP position, a single
source was needed to explain the fundamentals of imaging informatics and
to demonstrate how those fundamentals are applied in everyday practice.
Practical Imaging Informatics describes the foundations of
information technology and clinical image management, details typical
daily operations, and discusses rarer complications and issues.
