Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM)

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) is the leading healthcare professional organization for those interested in the current and future use of informatics in medical imaging. The group's focus is on the health IT side of radiology, including PACS, enterprise imaging, artificial intelligence, advanced visualization software, archive storage, teleradiology and interfaces with electronic medical record (EMR) and other hospital-wide IT systems.
