In this episode, hosts Jason and Mohannad sit down with Norman Young - a healthcare informatics innovator and open-source advocate whose career was shaped by his own early battle with cancer. After helping build eFilm - one of the earliest free medical image viewers - he founded ClearCanvas in 2005, delivering open-source PACS and RIS platforms globally and earning the American College of Radiology's Global Humanitarian Award in 2021. Today, through his non-profit CareChorus, he creates privacy-first, locally stored software tools that empower patients and caregivers to seamlessly navigate and manage complex medical records.  This episode was recorded in conjunction with the Imaging Informatics Unplugged (https://www.youtube.com/@NagelsConsulting) podcast.

In this episode, hosts Jason and Mohannad sit down with Greg Toffner to revisit his excellent presentation from the 2025 MIIT Conference (https://www.miit.ca/). Greg shares how the program is helping remote communities gain better access to basic imaging services through "task shifting" - training local community members to perform simple X-ray exams as Basic Radiological Technicians (BRTs). The conversation explores how this approach can improve health outcomes, reduce barriers to care, and address imaging-related health disparities in underserved communities. This episode was recorded in conjunction with the Imaging Informatics Unplugged (https://www.youtube.com/@NagelsConsulting) podcast.

In this episode, we sit down with Estella and Sophie, two talented high school students who have made their mark at the SIIM Hackathon. Together, they earned second place in 2024, and Sophie returned the following year to place again. Estella and Sophie reflect on their experiences with SIIM, share what it was like to compete in the hackathon, and discuss the interests and career paths they're exploring beyond SIIM.

Coulter, Prasanth and Mohannad reflect on SIIMcast's ninth season, plans for the next season, as well as the upcoming SIIM 2026 annual meeting in Pittsburgh. 

In this episode, we chat with Herman Oosterwijk and Jeff Frimeth, two experts in the field of Radiology and Medical Physics, where we talk about Diagnostic (medical-grade) monitors vs. commercial, off-the-shelf regular ones. We talk about differences, why you need a medical-grade monitor for accurate diagnosis and what makes them special.

In this episode, we chat with Sébastien Jodogne, perhaps most well-known for creating the Orthanc DICOM server. We also cover Sébastien's journey, open-source philsophy and academic interests.

In this episode, we sit with Dr. Tarik Alkasab, Heather Chase and Dr. C. Michael Hood to talk about recent developments in the worlds of Common Data Elements (CDS, see https://www.rsna.org/practice-tools/data-tools-and-standards/radelement-common-data-elements), Open Imaging Data Model (OIDM, see https://www.openimagingdata.org/) and other developments such as the Imaging Problem List (IPL).
