Radiology 2.0

"Web 2.0" refers to a second generation of web development and design, that facilitates communication, secure information sharing, interoperability, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 concepts have led to the development and evolution of web-based communities, hosted services, and applications such as social-networking sites, video-sharing sites, wikis, blogs, mashup and folksonomies. Radiology in the Web 2.0 probably refers to things like globalization, teleradiology, clinical decision support software, social networking sites dedicated to radiology, Radiology centric blogs and wikis etc. Also concepts like PACS, DICOM and HIPAA again somewhere refer to the impact of web 2.0 on radiology popularly known as Radiology 2.0.

Radiology related podcasts, RSS feeds from Table of contents of journals, and search engines like yottalook also form our current outlook of Radiology 2.0. To me Radiology 2.0 is about user friendly approach, interactivity and interoperatibility.
