 '''4. Informatics updates'''<br>
 * Concern was raised that the biggest problems the Imaging Consortium may face with the informatics proposal are policy issues rather than IT problems.
-** Steven Voss from Children's Hospital met with Nigrin to discuss issues related to image transfer. He expressed support for the proposal and inquired as to the infrastructure requirements necessary for the proposal to be carried out. However, there are still issues with imagin transfer between Children's Hospital and other institutions that the Imaging Consortium needs to solve.
