Supporting healthcare through innovation, creativity, and discovery

The Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM) aspires to be the leading healthcare professional organization representing interests and goals of those who work with and whose work is affected by the rapidly changing world of information and imaging technologies. SIIM seeks to spearhead research, education, and discovery of innovative solutions, new technologies and applications to improve the delivery of medical imaging services and the quality and safety of patient care.

A Vibrant and Open Community

In 2006, the Society for Computer Applications in Radiology (SCAR) announced a name change to the Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine (SIIM). The new name appropriately describes the diversity of the Society's members, reflects the expansion of our research and educational activities, and embraces the dynamic changes in the healthcare environment. Many important components of imaging informatics demand an interdisciplinary approach, including image processing, image transmission and display, imaging information management, and decision support systems. SIIM provides a collegial forum where physicians, administrators, health information professionals, technologists, scientists, and engineers can learn about these topics from one another. In short, SIIM brings together individuals who develop and use information systems for medical imaging.
