RETHINKING THE ROLE OF INFORMATICS IN CLINICAL IMAGING

Abstract

Technology has been the backbone of Clinical Imaging. Right from the inception of this field of diagnoses until recent times, the technological leaps have contributed to the development of modalities and viewing capabilities for the radiologists. Historically, major breakthroughs had happened in how technology was developed to open up an entirely different perspective of viewing the patient. Subsequent refinements over the years had made these technological miracles into efficient and effective diagnoses tools that provide greater insights, improve efficiencies, and enable radiologists to manage a large body of data from high-end modalities in an efficient manner and improved software processing techniques to process information.
