Manny’s Moans – ICE
We just attended the MD Imaging Expo in Indianapolis. It was the first conference for the diagnostic imaging profession since DITEC stopped conducting conferences in 2008. This was an awesome event with 300+ attendees, exhibitors and sponsors. It was great to see old friends.
I was accorded the honor of providing the Keynote Address to a packed room. I made it a light and fun presentation regarding the history of diagnostic imaging. I spoke on the discovery of x-rays by Roentgen including how the first anatomical x-ray was generated.
Herr Rontgen discovered x-rays on November 8, 1895 and was so intrigued that he ate and slept in his basement laboratory for a couple of weeks. (It seems he was the first hospital service professional, you know, in the basement, next to the morgue.)
His wife, Bertha, finally got him to come out for a good dinner upstairs and he quickly disappeared back to his experiments. She was unhappy with him for this. To appease her, he brought her to the laboratory an took the first x-ray in history. It was of her hand with the wedding ring. Upon seeing the x-ray, she said, “I have seen my death.” This x-ray has stood for the discovery for all these years.
At the Expo, we announced a new community for the diagnostic imaging management and service profession: The Imaging Community Exchange – ICE.
The Imaging Community Exchange – ICE, is committed to providing tools and information to assist members in enhancing individual and professionals skills. ICE will provide webinars, videos, journals networking, and other continuing career enhancement tools.
ICE membership is FREE to all imaging service professionals, anyone who provides products and services to the profession, and others interested in the profession.
The full website will be rolled out at the MD Expo Fall 2014, in Orlando, October 1-3, 2014
