Allina: Senior Systems Analyst - Medical Imaging
Hired in February, 2010 I accepted a role to work for Allina in the Medical Technology Systems department. This was an exciting opportunity to work on the full scope of medical imaging from configuring and building the overall system architecture down to the granular level of Radiologist workstation configurations.
I am fortunate to work with talented individuals that have been in the Healthcare industry for 15+ years and I quickly adopted a role focused on the archiving and routing of DICOM medical images. I love this position as it exposes me to the latest technology from servers and switches, to workstations and services.
