"Two radiologists recently developed open-source software, called OsiriX, to display and manipulate complex medical images on the popular portable devices called iPods. "
Check the screenshots on their homepage at http://homepage.mac.com/rossetantoine/osirix/Index2.html - wow!
I wonder how they address patient privacy issues when storing lots of images on oft-stolen iPods? Presumably the patient identifiers associated with the images, if not the images themselves, are encrypted?
