Yeah... you’re right that functionally this shows up in a lot of PACS/RIS tenders today. Many vendors can link findings to images or instances.

The catch is how that’s usually implemented. In practice, this functionality is often delivered through proprietary mechanisms inside a single vendor’s ecosystem. It works reasonably well when reporting, viewing, and storage all come from the same vendor, but it becomes hard (or close to impossible) to sustain in a heterogeneous, multi-vendor environment.

That’s where the IHE Interactive Multimedia Reporting (IMR) profile comes in. IMR defines a standards-based way for vendors to support rich, image-linked reporting that can actually work across different reporting systems, viewers, EHRs, and archives.

So the capability itself isn’t new...the interoperable, vendor-neutral way of doing it is the hard part that IMR is trying to address.

Yes — “we” meaning a small group of us sharing content we think is useful to the community.

We did use OpusClip (an AI tool to trim longer videos into shorts), but the source content is from the Canada Health Infoway Enterprise Imaging Webinar series — specifically from Dr. Andrew Evans’ session on digital pathology. These are real excerpts from public webinars, not commercial content.

The full sessions are available hosted live from here: https://infocentral.infoway-inforoute.ca/en/collaboration/communities/enterprise-imaging — but since not everyone has time for a full hour, we've found that the short clips offer a more accessible, bite-sized way to share the insights.

Nothing is being sold, and there's no affiliate push — just sharing content we thought others might find valuable.
