There is often a large gap between implementing technology and actually using it. Ensuring that healthcare providers not only have access to important patient information, but also that they are using it in a meaningful way is the purpose of the recent meaningful use (MU) definition.

Radiation oncologists have several imaging tools available during the radiotherapy process. Before any treatment dose can be given, however, clinicians need to appropriately select and delineate the proper target volumes, or tumors, and they need to determine which organs may be at risk for unwanted dose.

One might not expect the old adage “good things come in small packages” to have validity when speaking about imaging systems, where some modalities require a room-size space to be utilized. But in the case of ultrasound, portable systems as small as a smart phone have made inroads in a variety of settings, with proponents wondering how they lived without them.
