October 2014: DIG won RSNA award
'A Comparative Study of Methods for Cardiac Ventricular Volume Estimation' from DIG won a RSNA award. Each year the RSNA highlights an international region to present a scientific session featuring the latest in radiology research. This year, Canada is being presented. The award is based off the highest grades received from all abstracts submitted from the regions being highlighted during the 2014 RSNA Annual Meeting.
In memo of Dr. Rankin
In remembrance of one of our founders of Digital Imaging Group of London, Dr. Richard Neal Rankin sadly passed away on November 1, 2013 in London Ontario. Dr. Rankin was always innovative and forward thinking with his academic pursuits. Together with radiologists and researchers citywide, he devoted great passion from both personal and professional life to foster research. Today many people have benefited from a lot of his initiatives, among many DIG might be the latest one. We will always remember him for his passion for research, interest in digital imaging and new advances as well as one of the kindest mentors for our profession. We will all miss him very much.
DIG organized 'MICCAI workshop on Bio- Imaging and Visualization for Patient-Customized Simulations 2013'

DIG organized 'Computational Methods and Clinical Applications for Spine Imaging' workshop with MICCAI 2013

Sept. 2009: DIG has a new logo
Each colored hexagon represents one of the organizations in the Digital Imaging Group of London. Collectively, these elements, comprising the larger hexagon and predominant design element, symbolize the joining together of these organizations into DIG. The overlapping planes symbolize both, the cooperation between the organizations and the image planes in digital imaging. The person in the center symbolizes the synergy formed by the group and the greater sum of their collective efforts. The transparence of the person in the middle symbolizes imaging.
