Minor Oof - The Aftermath
Added 2019-01-16 10:38:30 +0000 UTCI was pretty sure that that low budget Chinese geiger counter was registering heavy x-ray activity ... but since no camera sensor appears to pick up anything maybe it's just a fault in the x-ray machine after all?

2019-01-17 11:34:35 +0000 UTCYeah, besides being a standard for x-ray image exchange, cost is probably the biggest reason for CDs. And cd burning robots provide a solution for automated mass creation. Though, the future will be a web based solution for download and upload of images… I think my colleges are currently implementing this in our hospital. Some patients already “bring” their images via Dropbox...

2019-01-16 15:37:19 +0000 UTCI think DICOM is still done on disc due to it's reliably, cost and its WORM nature. Cheap USB flash drives have a habit of going bad and decent ones are about 200-500x the cost of a CD-R.
