Dear AuntMinnie Business & Industry Insider,
Welcome to the first edition of AuntMinnie's Business & Industry Radiology Insider! This e-newsletter marks the extension of our popular Radiology Insider program to AuntMinnie members who are interested in the latest business developments in the ever-changing radiology industry.
For our inaugural issue, we're pleased to bring you an article on the importance of picking the right display monitor, by imaging equipment expert Peter Staff. While Mr. Staff hails from the U.K., his pearls of wisdom are applicable around the world, as the shift to PACS and soft-copy image review places new importance on quality control of medical displays.
The article discusses the considerations that come into play when purchasing medical displays, the importance of regular quality control and calibration, and whether you should really think of your display as an information technology (IT) product.

In other Business & Industry news, we've just posted the latest installment of AuntMinnie's IMV MarketStat. These informative charts track important benchmarks in the imaging industry, and are based on data supplied to AuntMinnie by our content partner IMV Medical Information Division, Inc. of Des Plaines, IL.
