Pathology Standards and Hackathon In this episode, host Mohannad chats with Jason Klotzer and Markus Herrmann about pathology imaging standards. The team discusses the unique perspective of digital pathology and how the specialty has adopted DICOM standards to meet the needs of the pathologist's imaging workflow, as well as a hackathon sponsored by the DPA and DICOM Workgroup 26. Jason Klotzer is a customer engineer working for the Healthcare vertical of Google Cloud, and he is based out of Austin, TX and has worked in the medical imaging space for more than 15 years. He has architected several PACS and VNA systems, specializing in visualization of medical images for diagnostic reading, recently focusing on the needs of AI/ML and analytics in medical imaging. Markus Herrmann serves as Director of Computational Pathology at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Assistant Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School. His research focuses on the development of novel quantitative imaging biomarkers and computer-aided diagnostic tests combining microscopy imaging, computer vision, and mathematical modeling. Markus is active in national and international efforts to advance the standardization and adoption of digital and computational pathology, including the DICOM Working Group 26 Pathology, the IHE Pathology and Laboratory Medicine domain, the Pathology Innovation Collaborative Community, the Digital and Computational Pathology Committee of the College of American Pathologists, and the Regulatory and Standards Task Force of the Digital Pathology Association.

PIIRT Chapter 5 - Incorporating Non-Image Data with Matthew Hayes In this episode, hosts Ali, Prasanth, and Mohannad speak with Matthew Hayes CIIP. Matt is currently the PACS Manager for Radiology Partners. Prior engagements had him troubleshooting many different imaging challenges ranging from AI enablement, Encounters Based Imaging, Long Term Archiving, Cardiology, Radiology, and Pathology. The lively discussion covers an array of use cases and workflows, beginning with the historical uses of PACS to managing non imaging textual and metadata to the advent of DICOM SR, which in tandem with standardization efforts of IHE profiles enabled more dynamic workflows, such as AI and Communication and follow-up tracking.

In this episode, hosts Mohannad, Prasanth and Jason catch up with Bernard "Ben" Gyimah from Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital @KBTH_GH in Accra Ghana, site of the Global Ambassador program sponsored by @SIIM_Tweets and @RADAIDIntl. Last we heard Ben and Jason discuss the implementation of a PACS upgrade and RIS implementation with @IBMWatsonHealth. Fast-forwarding almost 3 years since our last meetup, Ben discusses the challenges of integrating with a new national EMR, establishing links with Ghana's national identification initiatives and other health information entities. The discussion evoked quite a bit of nostalgia from both Jason and Ben, who reflected on how much progress has been made, highlighting some of the innovative solutions used at the hospital when faced with limited resources.

In this episode, hosts Prasanth and @jaynagles interview @auff0001 primary author of the first chapter in the second edition of Pracitcal Imaging Informatics. Dr. Auffermann, is an associate Professor of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at the University of Utah School of Medicine. Drawing from his background in the physical sciences to translate basic concepts of medical imaging and the strategies used to bring all audiences together. He also discusses how this chapter fits into the revised organization and flow of the new edition. Connect with us!

AI Racial Identification In this episode, hosts Prasanth and Mohannad interview @judywawira (Emory University), Chima Okechukwu (GeorgiaTech) @BrandonPriceRad (FSU College of Medicine) and Anthony Celi (MIT laboratory for Computational Physiology) as they discuss a groundbreaking paper they published earlier this year, in which they demonstrate how shockingly accurate machine learning systems can be at determining race. Starting from an accidental discovery to an arduous process of eliminating surrogate indicators or proxies they were startled to see how robust these model predictions were to signals virtually imperceptible to even expert human observers, across modalities as well as anatomic regions. They will also speak about the broader questions of access to healthcare in across minority and underrepresented groups, the importance of careful ML design choicesi. The discussants address the concept of race as a social construct, a predicter or health outcomes, myriad difficult race-related questions science and society will have to tackle as we embrace AI in Medicine.
