In this episode, hosts Ali, Mohannad, Jason, and Prasanth chat
with Chris Hafey, Dr. Jason Hostetter, and Dr. Simon Rascovsky
about the Imaging Informatics Open Community Meetups -- an open
format meeting with short discussions on any topics related to
Medical Imaging. Participants include software developers,
clinicians, technologists and PACS administrators, researchers, and
a "sprinkling" of vendors.
These meetings started informally mid-2020 and give participants a
way to meet without any predetermined agenda to ask questions,
brainstorm new ideas, share about new projects or any other topics
that are related to open-source medical imaging!
