Josh Tan: Bridging the Gap Between Imaging Technology and Researches & Clinicians


Recently I caught up with Josh Tan to find out a little more about his work at the Wake Forest School of Medicine. Josh’s title is Imaging Informatics Administrator, which might not mean much to some of us, but his work is very important for patients being treated for just about any disease that a patient might be treated for at the hospital. See what Josh does is help researchers and physicians use a combination of imaging technologies to diagnose and plan for the treatment of diseases ranging from heart disease to gunshot wounds. Josh’s work is effectively bridging the gap between the researcher and clinician and the imaging technology in his labs.

Josh uses a broad range of imaging tools that are all dedicated to research. They range from CT, MRI, to PET. The images are used to look at patients as if they had been dissected like a spiral cut ham. (Nice image, I know.) It creates a huge amount of data with 150 images per second and each image taking up more than ½ megabyte. Storage is an issue for sure, but rendering is an even bigger issue. Josh is using bleeding edge technology from TeraRecon, Inc. where each system can have 4 video boards and 16GB of memory per board. If this doesn’t mean anything to you, your average computer these days might have a single board with 1GB of memory.

So, enough with the geek speak. Josh helps clinicians and researchers use all of this power to perform a broad range of studies such as car crashes (how the car did or didn’t protect the driver) to gunshot wound trajectories to measuring blood flow through the brain for the study of dyslexics and strokes.

Another technology Josh is helping to bring to the clinic and research lab is 3D printing. Josh can take images taken from a patient and in a few hours use a 3D printer to recreate an injury or disease state which allows better planning for treatment. He can also do real time animation using the same tools that the makers of Shrek and Avatar used. These tools have been instrumental in the research and breakthroughs that Dr. Atala is well known for here in Winston-Salem.

There is no way to update the Orbi firmware automatically if you don't have access to the internet. Infected cache files may be found in the Orbi router files. You got a firmware file from a fake and insecure website. Just in case you accidentally downloaded the firmware for a different router model. Check for updates in your browser and clear all cookies and receipts. Perhaps this is why the Orbi firmware update isn't working as well.

  53. Some Amped routers can be converted into Network Bridge mode. With the help of the Network Bridge mode, you can create a connection between two wireless networks. The Bridge mode can only be assigned to one of the frequency bands either to the 2.4 GHz or 5GHz. You can reconnect the devices using the wired connection to expand the network further. Before configuring the Bridge mode using the setup.ampedwireless.com interface, it doesn’t create any other Wifi network but only expands a network by providing the wired connection.
