There's a lot of hope wrapped up in computer assisted detection (CAD) - from both physicians and patients. Increasing computer speed has facilitated both software development and higher volumes of detailed images that radiologists and other specialists thus need assistance in reading.

While transferring patient images via CD is proving troublesome, the industry hasn't yet reached the tipping point toward embracing DVDs.

Mobile device users face two major network choices - conventional wired or wireless - and both require proactive planning and design.
