The problem *as I see it* with the ADF (reversed) is when you use that raw data and turn it into clinical information. In terms of storing data - then, umm, ok but whatever's using the data needs to take into account data management, user identification and authorization, logging, auditing, data purging and archival, encryption, etc, etc, etc.
I doubt anyone's using the iPod Photo's small LCD screen to determine a clinical diagnosis. If that were the case, then yes - they are in trouble because I'm sure everyone would see the difference in image resolution of a portal consumer device vs, well, everything else. In terms of "iPod" - is it simply being used as an external storage device like any other USB/Firewire Hard Drive or Flash Drive? In that case, throw in the Shuffle, Creative Zen, WD External Hard Drive, and my Sandisk 1GB USB 2.0 memory stick. When I last checked the project, the real benefits where DICOM in OSX and not necessarily the "iPod" - I think maybe that was for grabbing some headlines. But I could be wrong - I am tired ;) /David. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nancy Anthracite Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 10:43 PM To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Hardhats-members] OsiriX Images on iPODS On the latter, I sure wasn't worried about the iPOD "breaking" if someone dropped it with all their medical records on it. I was worried about someone loosing it with all that private info on it for unauthorized persons to exploit. But then, if that becomes common practice, hopefully good protection of the data will as well.
