Today was the kind of day I like at the RSNA meeting. I reviewed some old stuff, learned some new stuff, and had some great laughs.

All the major manufacturers and many of the small companies make a good PACS product. If your department is going digital, it is people who are going to screw you, and people should be your first consideration.

The first day of the RSNA meeting is always the best, perhaps because I have the most energy and enthusiasm. Ten years ago I didn't get tired until Thursday. Now I'm tired on Monday. I would like to blame it on changes in the meeting, but I have the same problem during a normal work week at home.

For the past 10 years I have been lecturing on America's Radiation Phobia. Obviously, I am not doing a good job, because it is growing.
