(DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING) -- There seems no end to the bashing. But from radiology’s perspective, Apple’s soon-to-be-released iPad could be huge, potentially serving as the first truly mobile device to support medical visualization.

The iPad brings this to the big screen with computing power that could be extended to support not only windowing and leveling, but some advanced processing as well. Some will say that the iPad is just another form of the often-tried, often-failed tablet PC. But I see it for what the tablet PC is not. The iPad could be to PC computing what SonoSite’s hand-carried point-of-care scanners are to ultrasound: lightweight, simple, low-cost, and optimized products for select functions.
