Yes. There is still so much low hanging fruit for software everywhere.
- wouldbecouldbe 3y agoThats more an IT management problem then a software issue.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoIT management usually is the problem.
- sgt101 3y agoIt's often a software problem too. It's pretty easy to ship software with memory leaks - especially when there are few users, limited money for testing and technically challenging tasks - such as large images that need to be manipulated.
- bick_nyers 3y agoThe testing overhead for Dicom is immense to do properly. There is a very high chance it is a software problem, especially if dealing with tomos/mammos (or even x-ray) which are incredibly resource hungry.
- itissid 3y agoWas that due to bad software crashing the os ?
- malikNF 3y agoSmells like a memory leak.

- TheCleric 3y agoMy startup idea: rewriting medical apps in Rust.
- bick_nyers 3y agoDCMTK (C++) doesn't have any significant memory leaks that I am aware of, you can take a look there to get a grasp on the amount of work you would be signing up for. If you (or anyone) are serious about this, please for the love of God allow for multithreading (even if at the expense of efficiency), put some SIMD in there, or better yet utilize GPUs. So much of Dicom image handling is done single thread and it's so silly.
- skybrian 3y agoAnother startup's idea: use AI to assist programmers in rewriting medical apps in Rust. I'd guess it's probably safer than using AI directly.
