Computers, Conversation, Utilization and Commoditization: the 2008 Herb Abrams Lecture

Abstract

I want to thank Steven Seltzer and the Brigham radiology community for the opportunity to speak today. The invitation is both an honor and a responsibility. It is an honor to follow the distinguished group of previous Abrams Lecturers: John Wennberg, Marcia Angel, Norman Shumway and Margaret Marshall, to name a few. The responsibility is to say something of interest to radiologists. We will know soon enough how that goes.
