The Journal of Digital Imaging (JDI) is the official peer-reviewed journal of the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM). JDI's goal is to enhance the exchange of knowledge encompassed by the general topic of Imaging Informatics in Medicine including, but not limited to, research and practice in clinical, engineering, information technologies and techniques in all medical imaging environments.
Topics of interest to the readers of JDI include the following as they pertain to the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of imaging information in healthcare to efficiently and effectively improve access and quality:
PACS and component systems
Imaging informatics for the enterprise
Image-enabled electronic medical records
Integrating mobile technologies
RIS, HIS and other clinical information systems
Digital image acquisition, transmission, storage, display and interpretation
3D (e.g. printing, modeling, display)
SIIM Workflow Initiative in Medicine (SWIM)
DICOM and other standards
IHE
Imaging vocabularies and ontologies
Analytics
Workflow and process modeling and simulation
Protocolling and appropriateness
Structured reporting
Speech recognition
Content-based image retrieval
Meaningful use and legislative issues
Decision support
Radiation dose management
Teleradiology
Archiving and information lifecycle management
Network integrity and data security
Multimedia
Facilities design
Project management
Quality assurance
Online learning
Imaging informatics education
Papers that report on validation and implementation of informatics technologies and tools will be given precedence over papers that simply describe image processing algorithms, stand-alone evaluation of image analysis tools, and/or technology descriptions without validation or implementation.
