The SIIM 2007 Annual Meeting is a comprehensive educational and
scientific meeting unmatched in the field. SIIM and its annual meeting
provide an open environment for imaging informatics professionals
(physicians, physicists, technologists, health care administrators, PACS
administrators, IT professionals, scientists, engineers) to access
expert, unbiased, and cutting-edge resources in a collegial and
practical atmosphere.
GENERAL SESSIONS The general sessions include the
opening and closing sessions and live workflow demonstration. These
sessions spotlight core topics of interest to radiological
informatics professionals. Invited speakers and key thought leaders
in the field address major issues regarding digital imaging and the
electronic medical practice.
SIIM
UNIVERSITY SESSIONSThe entirety of SIIM U will be
presented at the Annual Meeting including Introductory,
Intermediate, and Advanced level courses. The 2007 SIIM University
curriculum features 12 sections.
The 100-level presentations provide attendees with the basics and
fundamental information used in everyday application of the
technologies. These sessions are suitable for attendees with little
knowledge of image information technology. The 200-level
presentations will allow participants to explore the technologies in
greater depth and are more applicable to those with limited
practical experience.
The 300-level
presentations are detailed and complex didactic offerings aimed at
the technophiles and more experienced users of the technology.
SCIENTIFIC
SESSIONSThe scientific sessions are the
heart of the meeting, and each session features moderated,
peer-reviewed presentations grouped into related categories. This
year, SIIM introduces 3 Featured Scientific Sessions, each including
a combination of invited speakers and scientific abstract
presentations, all related to one topic. Two invited speakers will
participate in each session and highlight the scientific talks. The
scientific program also features a poster and demonstration
session/prizes, the Roger A. Bauman award for the best student
paper, and the 7th Annual R&D Symposium.
HOT TOPIC
SESSIONS Invited speakers present in-depth,
specialized learning opportunities on cutting-edge, timely topics.
In general, these sessions include topics not covered by SIIM U.
ROUNDTABLES
These facilitated discussions will focus on topics of interest to select
audiences, including residents, PACS administrators, imaging center
administrators, those interested in open source, and RTs.
