About the SIIM Expert Hotline

The SIIM Expert Hotline for PACS and imaging informatics is provided to help technology users tap into SIIM’s significant expertise and background. With more than 2,200 individuals, as well as over 100 institutions and corporations as members, SIIM includes in its membership the early pioneers, adopters, and developers of the technology, the institutions that have led the way in developing its specifications and applications, and the vendors who have been responsive to the needs of users.

The Hotline had its origins in the mid-1990s as an e-mail service for SIIM members and was ably managed by Ronald Schilling, PhD. In 2003, SIIM secured a grant from the National Institutes of Health/National Library of Medicine Grant (1G07 LM007875-01, “Improving Access to Digital Imaging Expertise”) to create an open, online resource. The new SIIM Expert Hotline and Archive was developed by the Radiology Informatics Laboratory of the Medical College of Wisconsin, under the direction of Paul Nagy, PhD. (Press Release 3/16/04)
