iPad = imagePad... Are they used? What apps are good?
Chat about radiology with radiologists and those who want to get into the speciality
First up, I have to confess that I do not own an iPad (yet?). I am a dedicated Mac man with an iPhone, Macbook Pro and an iMac, but I just haven't been able to see the point of the iPad as well

Here is an update report on some tablet activity courtesy of Medscape Radiology News, suprisingly opening with an example from the UK, Spire Hartswood Hospital in Essex. Hang on... of course, it's a nifty looking private hospital. Why can't the NHS just grab the healthcare technology innovation bull by it's horns. It does sooo badly at this. There is an entire wi-fi network installed in Addenbrooke's in Cambridge that we can't use for some God-foresaken reason like it doesn't work, or can't be security protected well enough. Urrgh! |

Does this count as an app? It's not medical, but fascinating to anyone with any knowledge of London Matteo Pericoli - London Unfurled. This is a line drawing of the bank of the Thames from the opposite side, from both sides and right through Greater London. It is two very long drawings, that the iPad user can scroll along while viewing, a brilliant and original use of the iPad concept. See: http://www.picador.com/home/London-Unfurled-for-iPad/ I first saw this on my son's iPad, and bless him, knowing that I didn't have one, he found and gave me the printed copy version. It's one long length of paper, between hard covers with no spine. You 'scroll' through it by turning to the next page in the concertina fold; you can open it out and view a long length of the River on as many pages as you wish, and can go the other side of the River any time by turning to the opposite side of the paper. I've spent a lot of time with it, exploring a London and a River that I knew well at one time! John |
