Background: Imaging and Clinical Informatics are domains of biomedical informatics. Imaging Informatics topics are often not covered in depth in most Clinical Informatics fellowships. While dedicated Imaging Informatics fellowships exist, they may not have the same rigor as ACGME (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) accredited Clinical Informatics fellowships and they do not provide a direct path toward subspecialty board certification.

At the time of the agreement, the two organizations decided to collaborate to lead enterprise imaging development, advancement, and adoption. This paper celebrates the past 10 years of the HSEIC's thought leadership, industry partnerships, and impact while also looking ahead to identify enterprise imaging challenges to solve in the next decade.

While imaging informatics and clinical informatics are related fields, they have distinct bodies of knowledge. The aim of this curriculum is to prepare clinical informatics fellows for questions regarding imaging informatics on the clinical informatics board certification examination, prepare fellows to handle issues and requests involving imaging informatics in their future roles as clinical informaticists, and develop sufficient knowledge and skills in order to interface with imaging and radiology domain experts.

However, there are many factors that limit current peer review practices from reducing diagnostic errors and improving patient care. The development of "meaningful peer review" requires a transition away from compliance toward quality improvement, whereby the information and insights gained facilitate education and drive systematic improvements that reduce the frequency and impact of diagnostic error.

Significant contrasts between the scores obtained under the honest and simulated alcoholism conditions showed that normal subjects can simulate alcoholism on these inventories.

The Los Alamos Cell Analysis (LACEL) programs and electronic hardware provide the capability to acquire list mode or histogram data for up to eight parameters and control bidirectional sorting based on up to four parameters for each direction. The programs described in this paper also enable the display of single parameter and bivariate histograms and the graphical manipulation of the list mode data.
