Merge October 2024 newsletter: Bringing the physicians’ focus to RSNA

Digital pathology and Merge DICOM Toolkit, 5 things you didn't consider about DICOM (but wish you had), and the new Merge Community experience.

Dear Merge customers, 

It was great to meet so many of you at the User Meeting last month! I was blown away by how intimate it felt – getting to speak with you one on one and hear your thoughts directly. The physician panel was a real highlight, and I was gratified to hear that so many of you found it invigorating as well. We’re already planning next year’s conference (more on that below), and while it’s still early days, I can assure you that our physician-centric approach will be front and center again. 

That’s also our mission for RSNA, which I can hardly believe is just a month away. I hope you all will be able to attend my speaking session at the Innovation Theater, where I’ll be talking about cybersecurity from a clinician’s POV – something that I know many radiologists already care very much about. That’s just one piece of our bigger focus in Chicago: making the physician’s voice heard. If you haven’t already, book a one-on-one meeting with us at the show. Your thoughts and insights are what shape the future of Merge. I can’t wait to see you all out there. 

Meet us at RSNA 2024 

Merge puts your workspaces, clinicians, and transformation into focus. Visit us at booth #6100 for one-on-one conversations with the Merge team. Join our Innovation Theater and Virtual Industry sessions to learn from a practicing clinician on the importance of security in healthcare delivery, and how imaging organizations can apply those lessons. And relax with us at our after hours reception on Monday, December 2.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Just recently we noted on LinkedIn how, over the last three decades, breast cancer mortality has dropped by an incredible 44% (source), in large part thanks to a higher uptake of mammography screenings – and with them, earlier detection of cancer. Screenings save lives, and that’s why Merge is proud to work with radiologists and healthcare practices to make sure they have the solutions they need to, among other things, provide speedy and accurate mammograms and breast cancer screenings.  

Introducing our new Merge Customer Community design 

We are thrilled to announce the launch of a new user interface design in our Merge Customer Community. This update – combining a sleek, intuitive aesthetic with streamlined workflows and simplified navigation – is the direct result of feedback you’ve provided. We believe these changes will significantly improve your experience with the platform and help you achieve your goals more effectively. As you’re exploring the new design, please share your feedback with us at [email protected]. Thank you for your continued support and collaboration!
