S8E12 -Portland Deep Dive: SIIM 2025, Donuts, and Data

SIIMCast takes a detour from its usual deep dives into imaging informatics to explore the quirky, vibrant city of Portland, Oregon—host of the 2025 SIIM Annual Meeting! Join us as we chat with Portland-based radiologist Dr. Neel Patel and SIIMCast co-founder Dr. Prasanth Prasanna, who doubles as both host and local guide. From legendary donuts to iconic bookstores, scenic hikes to top-notch pizza, and even whiskey libraries, we cover everything you need to know to make the most of your trip. Plus, we touch on Portland's growing role in radiology and informatics, including insights into OHSU, PACS transitions, and the future of AI in workflow optimization.
