Report integration
It is not enough to just collect the image and/or data associated with the image analysisThis data must be both stored and consumed in reports for effective communication with clinicians and patientsThe integration of the images and associated data must not negatively imact workflow

Other points of integration
There is a growing number of image-based technologies that provide unique/non-traditional data
Points of integration must bring in images with associated metadata (measurements, values, etc.)
This is similar to a molecular test where the image is equivalent or secondary to the analysis data
Data can be interpreted or raw
Search issues for data based on type and location
Issues regarding device class

Roles that clients play
Every LIS company is market drivenThe majority driver in the market are clients
Current clients with new needsProspective clients with unmet needs
Device manufacturers also play a key role
NetworkingPeering
The best combination is a mutual point of interest between a client and device manufacture
