Digital skin imaging has become essential in the daily practice of any dermatologist. Imaging is mainly used for the diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of various skin conditions. Despite its increasing use, the acquisition, transfer, and secure storage of these data remain challenging for dermatologists and healthcare institutions. In addition, the current interest in incorporating AI systems into the clinical workflow has made it essential to have images and other information available in a timely and automatic manner, as well as to design and develop the necessary architecture so that this technology can be effectively used in the hospital ecosystem.
Objectives
- Describe our experience in integrating dermoscopic images into PACS using DICOM and Modality Worklist as a guide
- Present the architecture, applications and processes designed to have AI models running in real time in our hospital
- Discuss the challenges addressed and future steps
Resources
- Visible Light Imaging: Clinical Aspects with an Emphasis on Medical Photography—a HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community Whitepaper
- The Importance of Body Part Labeling to Enable Enterprise Imaging: A HIMSS-SIIM Enterprise Imaging Community Collaborative White Paper

Webinar
Building, Processing, and Governing Clinical Imaging Datasets: Foundations for AI
This final session in the series will discuss extracting structured and unstructured data from EHR systems, retrieving DICOM metadata and images from PACS, linking imaging to outcomes, and managing de-identification and IRB oversight. Emphasis will be placed on data quality, reproducibility, governance frameworks, and the operational realities of AI integration. The session will clarify how robust data infrastructure underpins trustworthy algorithm development and clinical deployment.
Webinar
The Imaging Lifecycle: Workflow, Bottlenecks, and Safety
Session 3 will explore the imaging lifecycle as a safety-critical workflow through a practical, discussion-driven lens. This conversation is geared toward undifferentiated medical students, trainees, and residents who want to better understand imaging informatics and its impact on clinical care.
Webinar
How Clinical Data Moves: The Infrastructure Behind Modern Imaging
Session 2 will explore how clinical and imaging data move across healthcare systems through the technical and operational architecture that supports them. This conversation is designed for undifferentiated medical students, trainees and residents who want to better understand imaging informatics and its role in clinical practice.
