Re: [Hardhats-members] VistA Imaging (OsiriX)

Fri, 07 Jan 2005 08:46:33 -0800

With Antoine Rosset's blessing, OSIRIX's lead developer, we very recently set up a sister forum that is focused on the Linux platform. There is quite a bit of momentum and some of the top imaging software talent around involved in OSIRIX, in addition to this work there is OpenRAD which is a broader initiative to bring together the other open source elements such as PACS. Hopefully, with these various efforts there will be a full open source solution in the not too distant future....the nice thing is that many of the key components need for one already exist. The FDA hurdle is something that will need to be considered... but it isn't slowing things down.

Joseph Dal Molin has been pursuing this possibility with them already, and I suspect he will bring us up to date when he sees your email. Apparently they do not think the port from the Mac OS will be all that difficult, (see here for instance http://developer.apple.com/unix/ ) but it would likely require investment from some hospital or other institution that would otherwise have to spend a lot of money purchasing a proprietary product, such as Accusoft to get VistAImaging going. Besides the port, it would require investment for overcoming the FDA regulatory hurdles. It is not clear to me, however, that those viewing images for diagnostic purposes requires overcoming the FDA hurdles, so for that, it is probably only a MAC vs Linux or Windows issue that needs to be dealt with.

I do not at all understand the issues related to VistA Imaging, but I ran
across an article where radiologist are using iPOD's to store images. The
product is OsiriX and is opensource could this be part of an opensource
solution for VistA Imaging?
