Electronic Physician Annotation Device Helps Analyze Medical Images
Radiologists tracking lesions on tomographical scans often can find it hard to put together a “picture” of their progress by reading a textual narrative of the patient’s scan history. To help make the process more intuitive and help improve how scans are analyzed, researchers at Stanford School of Medicine have developed the ePAD (Electronic Physician Annotation Device), an online tool for visual tracking of changes in radiological scans. While specifically developed for radiologists, the same technology can be applied by other physicians for documenting and keeping records on their patients. Medgadget 

Culture Shock: Web-Based Hep C Tx Guidelines
The website was developed and will be run jointly by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, and the International Antiviral Society-USA. A panel of 26 experts will keep clinicians on top of HCV treatment options, spokesmen for the three societies told MedPage Today before the site went live. MedPage Today

NeuroSlice app for Android aims to teach neuroanatomy with a large library of images
The user experience is not the best. It’s a nice enough app but it lacks several features that would make it of value to medical students. Referencing Wikipedia as source of information is not very reliable and the images are low quality. Should the developer release a newer version to address this issues things might change. iMedicalApps
