press release
Leuven (Belgium), February 26, 2008. Materialise proudly announces the sixth edition of the Medical Innovations Conference on May 30-31, 2008 in Vienna, Austria. This two-day event will guide all participants through the infinite possibilities Materialise can offer in 3D medical image processing and surgery planning. Two days of lectures and hands-on software training sessions will introduce all new features and applications of Mimics software. Moreover, the attendees can experience the launch of SurgiCase, our newest software platform for 3D surgery planning. This yearâs conference also includes the second edition of the Rapid Implant Manufacturing Forum.
The Main Program on the conferenceâs opening day will consist of 2 parallel sessions filled with lectures given by various researchers and industry leaders regarding the multiple uses of Mimics software. The winners of the 2008 edition of the Mimics Innovation Awards will be announced. Prof. Dr. Karl Entacher from the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences and Prof. Dr. Andreas Linninger from the University of Illinois have already confirmed their presence as keynote speakers. The main program sessions will be moderated by Prof. Dr. Jos Vander Sloten from the Catholic University of Leuven and Dr. Panayotis Diamantopoulos from the University of Athens.
The following topics will be discussed:
* Cardiology
* Finite Element Analysis
* Pneumology
* Tissue Engineering
* Archeology â Anthropology â Paleontology
* Computer Aided Engineering
Also on Friday May 30, the second edition of the Rapid Implant Manufacturing Forum will be held. Through well selected case studies presented by industry trendsetters, the latest developments in the field of implant production will be discussed. Goal of these sessions is to discuss and set, in dialogue with the experts, the future standards for certified, validated implants.
On Saturday, May 31, Materialise organizes the SurgiCase Program. SurgiCase is Materialiseâ new software platform for surgery planning and simulation and comes in two flavors. SurgiCase CMF is mended for the cranio-maxillofacial surgeon, while SurgiCase Orthopaedics is designed for planning orthopaedic surgeries. The orthopaedics and cranio-maxillofacial sessions run concurrently. Both sessions include lectures and hands-on trainings by prominent users such as Prof. Dr. Filip Stockmans from AZ Groeninge, Belgium and Prof. Dr. Hans-Florian Zeilhofer from the University Hospital Basel, Switzerland.
On the same day, the Mimics Software Training Program will be held, during which a variety of Mimics software training sessions will be offered. Every level of learner is welcomed here, as this program includes a basic training, an advanced training and an FEA workshop, in collaboration with CADFEM.
All experts in the field of 3D medical image processing and virtual surgery planning who want to stay in touch with innovations and new trends that go around in the their field are invited to this widely acclaimed event.

I'm writing an article about automated comparison hanging, and why it doesn't work with most PACS. Why is no one talking about this? A computer should be able to know what studies are related to the current study. The radiologist shouldn't have to hunt and click!
Please tell me your experience.

The only change in priority I have heard about was from a student who talked with the program last year, but she fell short because of lack of pre-reqs. She stated they told her that the only 2 things that really affect your 'priority' on the list is obviously your GPA, and also (maybe just for my program) whether or not you applied for the program the previous year. Mind you I heard this from another student, so who knows how accurate that info is.
Either way, good luck!

The program I am looking into is JRCERT certified, and states that it will allow students to sit for the ARRT exam, is this fine? |
I would call ARRT and tell them the program you are looking at and ask them if you will be able to sit for the test once you graduate. Get it from the horses mouth instead of taking a school counselor's word for it. You don't want to go through the entire program and find out later you can't sit for the test. |
Do you remember what department they called it? I see they have extensions all over the place, but if there was a way to pinpoint it I could just enter the ext. right away. I will just go through the operator otherwise. Thanks

haha, Hj, sorry, I tend to get ahead of myself. I guess I should concentrate more on basics. You raise excellent points, and I really thank you for giving me a sense of direction, and it makes alot of sense.
The clinical environment was about on par with what I had expected, the surprise was using angiogram(?) in coordination with inserting a catheter, that was real neat; also the barium GI test with the live monitior, that was awesome. I guess I expect the field of radiology to be a demanding, fast paced world with the reward of caring for and helping physicians diagnose patients accurately. I believe I'm a good fit because I have a passion for the field and have some experience with radiation handling and safety procedures, and I also would love to be working directly with patients.
Tell you what, I'm really happy I found this forum. I've been to this site a few times but never realized there was a forum. Not that I'll be able to spew my excitement often, but it'll give me something to do during my time in front of a computer haha.
