Key Drivers for Industry Success
• Whole slide Imaging today.. In vivo molecular
imaging tomorrow
• Better standards for Interoperability…DICOM,
Jpeg, HL7, CDISC, MIMIx?, MIAPE?
• FDA compliance vs speed-to-market trade-offs
• Better Data Exchange…Fusion between Medical
Informatics and Bio Informatics
• Ultimate litmus test is Drug Efficacy  that is
concomitant with Patient Safety

GE HCIT Perspective
•
Industry evolution driven through image digitization
•
When its about fast scan times and high resolution
images.. GE is a usual suspect
•
Industry definitions changing?
 Is it a PACS?
 Is it a LIS?
 Is it just the old Anatomic Pathology Module on new
steroids?
•
Interoperability with existing systems is key to success
•
Customer acceptance will depend upon transforming
Pathology workflow with significant value added
•
Thanks for having us here.. The youngest start-up in the
market… much to learn
