Letter From the Editor


The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Every year at this time we are bursting with anticipation, eager for a big break in our work routines--we can practically taste what's to come. That's right, we're gearing up for the Radiological Society of North America, the world's biggest medical conference, next week in Chicago.

The 94th Scientific Assembly and Annual meeting takes place November 30 - December 5 at McCormick Place, Chicago, IL. Tens of thousands of clinicians and other healthcare professionals will attend, along with technical exhibitors showcasing the latest advances in imaging technology and medical equipment. Last year, more than 60,000 people attended the conference.

DOTmed will be there so be sure to visit our booth (#7802) and meet the people behind your favorite medical equipment website. In the mean time, keep posted with DOTmed News Online, now featuring a Press Room with the latest new products and headlines in healthcare.

Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!
