Networking – Get to know your fellow PACS/RIS managers and other
colleagues in the imaging informatics profession. Many challenges can be
resolved through networking with your fellow users. DIAMOND affords its members
a micro view of how other radiology departments operate without ever having to
leave your office. Join forces with other sites that may share your same needs.
A team effort can create change.
Dynamic Imaging User Forum - Dynamic Imaging has recently
launched the Dynamic Imaging
User Forum, your free online resource for collaborating with your
IntegradWeb peers worldwide. While DIAMOND membership is not a
requirement for access to the Dynamic Imaging User Forum there is a
separate forum dedicated to DIAMOND issues, which is moderated by the
DIAMOND Chairman John Griffith.
