Imaging in Healthcare: A Glance at the Present and a Glimpse Into the Future

Eman Nabrawi et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

The utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medical imaging relies heavily on imaging informatics. That is a one-of-a-kind professional who works at the crossroads of clinical radiography, data science, and information technology. Imaging informaticians are becoming crucial players in expanding, assessing, and implementing AI in the medical setting. Teleradiology will continue to be a cost-effective healthcare facility that expands. Vendor neutral archive (VNA) isolates image presentation and storing systems, permitting platforms to develop quickly, and is a repository for organization-wide healthcare image data. Efforts are made to incorporate and integrate diagnostic facilities such as radiography and pathology to fulfill the needs and demands of targeted therapy. Developments in computer-aided medical object identification may alter the environment of patient services. Finally, interpreting and processing distinct complex healthcare data will create a data-rich context where evidence-based care and performance development may be driven.

Keywords: image in healthcare; image informatics; image mining; pacs; vendor neutral archive (vna).
