Christopher Herzog, MD, PhD, can pinpoint the precise moment he got it about cloud computing vis a vis advanced visualization for cardiovascular imaging. The Munich-based radiologist was preparing for an advanced visualization workstation face-off when his IT preparation partner suggested they try something a little different. The IT partner would log him into a thin-client workstation and, looking at the same images, guide him through the steps hed need to perform at the face-off. Nothing unusual thereexcept that Herzog was at his companys satellite facility in Garmisch, Germany, while the IT partner was somewhere in Portugal.
