Chicago was much more pleasant in April than in November – December for RSNA.  I attended the meeting on Sunday, did a presentation on the challenges Hospital IT will face in the future with the “other-ologies” coming on board with images and the need to store, display, and transmit them.  Look to the June JDI for several articles on the way the departments outside of radiology are coping.

You may not know that Chicago is in the finals to host the 2016 Summer Olympics and Sunday attendees were treated to demonstrations by several different olympic champions.   I took the picture of a fencing match below with my NEW IPHONE!  Possibly my new favorite gadget.  It can certainly burn up a lot of time just setting up apps and playing with the internet on a phone.  Very cool phone.  By the way, fencing is pretty cool too.
