About the PACSpage(SM)

The PACSpage started as a little experiment in writing HTML, designing Web pages, setting up my company's web pages, whether or not I was able to keep up with the expansion of the PACS industry on the Web, and just trying to learn about this industry as much as I can. I first started collecting a few WWW addresses.

Then, the MATMO web page took (with my permission) my Vendor Listing. Since then, the page has taken on a life of its own. I get a significant amount of traffic, which is good. This keeps me going, adding as much information as I am able to. The PACSpage has also been re-organized, to make it a little more manageable, and it will continue to grow and change.

17 Mar 97: The growth of the Medical Imaging Industry on the web has been phenomenal. As can be seen from the number of sites I have added in the last month. I am pretty diligent in looking for sites on the web. I keep a list of companies in or trying to get in the Medical Imaging / PACS business. I am constantly searching on the web for companies. But the growth in the last month, and even the last week has been fairly impressive -- a large number of new sites that showed up on the web in Feb'97.

19 May 97: The growth of the Medical Imaging Industry on the web is still going and going. I have modified the navigation bar as a table on the left side of the site. I am not thrilled with it, but it does make it more navigable. I added the "PACS Sites" page and started on the Feedback page.

As I get ideas from others, or ideas magically pop into my head, or I see a need for dissemination of information, then I have been trying to put the information on my web pages.

If you are wondering about the new PACSpage logo, and where I have gotten it from, it is a combination of two symbols: the "End Paragraph" marker and the symbol for Hermes. There is a reason. The "End Paragraph" mark traditionally has meant text corresponding to a new train of thought, and Hermes is the messenger of the gods. With the two P's representing the two P's in PACS-page, it just seemed like a good combination. Any other meaning gleaned from this symbol would be wrong, I know, I made it up.

Humour

Found taped to a wall behind the water-cooler:

Why PACS is like Teenage sex...
  • It's on everyone's mind all the time.
  • Everyone's talking about it all the time.
  • Everyone thinks everyone is doing it.
  • Almost no one is really doing it.
  • The few who are doing it:
    • doing it poorly
    • sure it will be better the next time
    • not practicing it safely
  • Everyone is bragging about their successes all the time, although very few have actually had any success.

Send me any other humour, if you have any...
