Dr. Chang is active in numerous and research development projects related to radiology informatics as well as enterprise-wide informatics integration issue. He is a recognized expert in the field of radiology informatics. His work in workstation design has results in presentation and navigation models that have been adopted by most PACS vendors. A Novel lossless wavelet-based image distribution mechanism, dynamic transfer syntax (DTS), was co-invented by Dr. Chang; this technology was subsequently commercialized by the creation of Stentor, which was recently acquired by Philips Medical Systems.
