Feedback: 1st African PACS & RIS Edu-conference

The 1st African PACS & RIS Edu-conference was a fantastic event. I think the organisers put together a great show and taught the local PACS & RIS community a great many things.

I am so glad to know that there are that many Southern African people out there going through the same issues that we are. It was a real eye opener to share in the experiences of both private practice and that of government, who share some issues, but on the whole have very different outlooks on the systems at large.

The formation of a local organisation to address PACS & RIS issues was raised. I think this will be a great asset to the local community as it will give us a platform to communicate, educate and drive the industry forward.

Well done to the event organisers, it was great to be a part of the event and thank you for teaching us so much.

More Microsoft Visio PACS Stencils

I have added some more Visio stencils for PACS drawings. (Previous post)
The collection now consists of the following: CT Scanner, MRI Scanner, CR, Cassettes and icons.

You can download the stencils from http://drop.io/pacsworld_visioStencil_01/

Radiology Visio Stencils

I was looking for a nice Microsoft Visio stencil for Radiology modalities online, but I could not find anything nice so I decided to make my own. I have only made a CT & MRI for now. I am busy making some other stencils as well. I hope to make CR, Cassettes, General X-Ray and maybe Mammo. Let me know if there is anything that anyone is looking for that I can make.

You can download the first draft stencil from this link.
I will see if I can draw some more and post them here.

Please give me some feedback.
