i'm not going to comment on the rest of the article, but having designed, installed, configured and optimized a medical image system for the surgery department of a major hospital, that ain't gonna happen on my system. i made sure of that. beside any surgeon worth his salt will already have gone over the images enough so he can find things in the dark just by feel. [BTW these folks were some of the most reluctant users i ever had. they all claimed it was "too difficult". my standard answer was "anybody who can cut someone open, muck around with their insides, sew them up and then have them walk away can learn to use a computer."]
