................... The birth of wireless communication brought forth an entirely new possibility - instantaneous communication. The Antique Wireless Association’s National Museum is a 10,000 square foot resource for discovery, education, and sharing the history of wireless communication via a vast collection of radio technology from the earliest wireless experiments through the early days of ham radio; and through broadcast radio and TV to the present day cell phones. On Saturday, December 4, museum experts will facilitate an in-depth guided tour. Through this tour, we will retrace a path of people, places, and technologies, part of an amazing journey that continues today. Since our last IEEE meeting at the museum in 2018, it has undergone significant renovations and additions. (Our attendees will be free to explore the collection on their own if they prefer to do so.) Our meeting will take place one week before the 100th anniversary of a historic transatlantic test that established that path for wireless engineering for the next century. The IEEE Rochester Section in partnership with the Antique Wireless Museum is offering a rare opportunity to see and hear the amazing stories and appreciate just how we got to be holding our smartphones, and of course, a close-up look at the people and electronics technologies and tools that made it possible. Agenda: We will meet at the Antique Wireless Museum on Saturday, December 4th at 11:00 am, where expert staff members will offer a 1-1½ hour guided tour of the museum, allowing us to discover their rich collection of radio and video devices from the worlds of commercial, military, and amateur communication. After the museum tour, at about 1:00, and for those who choose to do so, we will go to a friendly neighborhood restaurant for lunch (Cheap Charlie's). People who choose to go to lunch will be responsible for their own lunch charges. This is a rare opportunity to benefit from the leadership and commitment of the Antique Wireless Association in preserving and sharing our wireless legacy. FEE: The charge for this event will be $5.00.

Since Wilhelm Roentgen discovered X-Rays in 1895, medical imaging has undergone several revolutions. Initially, and for decades, photographic film was a capture, storage, distribution, and archival medium. This continued until the early 1990s when Digital images were rendered onto film using multiformat cameras and radiographic laser printers. Electronic displays did not have sufficient resolution as well as dynamic range. The growth of digital modalities, both 2D as well as 3D necessitated interoperability and the ability to view and process images remotely, as well as archive them electronically, as storage became inexpensive. This talk will chart the evolution of electronics and informatics from the time of Roentgen until the present day and will also discuss some of the hurdles that had to be conquered in order for these technologies to be accepted by the medical imaging community.
