Textbook:
Barton F. Branstetter IV (Ed.), "Practical Imaging Informatics ," by Springer-Verlag New York, 2009, First Edition. This book explains the fundamentals of imaging informatics and demonstrates how those fundamentals are applied in everyday practice.It is the unique source to touch the certification IIPs. It describes the foundations of information technology and clinical image management, details typical daily operations, and discusses rarer complications and issues. This book is written by world-renown experts in the domain of medical imaging informatics. They are all active in the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM). This book is an indispensable reference for the practicing IIPs who are studying for a certification exam, and any professional who needs quick master the core of imaging informatics in medicine. It is also a good reference for practical radiologists, healthcare/clinical information professionals, and administrators.
