It’s interesting to see the comparative growth of rival online communities in the multi-billion dollar medical imaging industry.

News from my former workplace: Medicsight/Medicexchange/MGT. Allan Rowley steps up as CEO of Medicsight. Plus from Aunt Minnie news of MGT’s re-scheduling around its next shareholder meeting.

I loved Doctor Dalai’s recent April Fool, announcing the partnership between Siemens and Disney: “Disney and Siemens are two of the world’s most recognized and respected brands, both known for their relentless commitment to innovation. We look forward to working with Disney to grow our relationship and realize the potential of two great companies. This [...]
One from David Rothman back in January 2007, updated with help from Steven Chan at radRounds, to say it’s now on a Ning-based med imaging search engine. Note, it’s currently by invitation only too:
“Yottalook is a free radiology-centric search engine based on Google’s indexing technology with proprietary relevance algorithm by iVirtuoso. Currently, Yottalook Images and [...]
