We're excited to announce the release of ClearCanvas ImageServer 0.90, our open source PACS server!  This is an important milestone because it represents another step in our drive towards an industrial strength, open source RIS/PACS.

Be sure to download it, check out the user's manual, and tell us what you think.  We're really interested in hearing from you and any suggestions you may have!

The ClearCanvas developer community will be pleased to know that the inaugural version of the ClearCanvas SDK is now finally available!  We've invested a great deal of time trying to make it as easy to use as possible.  It comes complete with Visual Studio templates & wizards, a comprehensive Developer's Guide and a full API Reference.  And if that isn't quite enough for you, we also have a number of discussion forums to help you with your development related questions.  So try it out and let us know what you think!

We are very pleased to announce Planar, makers of specialty displays, as one of our new partners! We are delighted that they have successfully developed a plugin for ClearCanvas Workstation to drive their new 10/12 bit grayscale displays.

We're happy to announce Empiric Systems as one of our partners! They've done a great job of incorporating ClearCanvas Workstation into their Encompass.NET solution and have made a number of customizations to suit the needs of their users.  If you're going to RSNA, be sure to stop by Booth #5738 and see what they've done!

Once again, we'll be attending RSNA this year as attendees.  If you'd like to meet up with us and see what we've been up to, please let me know (norman AT clearcanvas DOT ca).  We'd be happy to arrange a time to get together.  Hope to hear from you soon!
