Objective:
We propose a method of processing and displaying imaging utilization data for large populations.
Conclusion:
The comprehensive and finely grained picture of imaging utilization yielded by our methods is a first step toward population-based imaging utilization management. We believe that our methods for the categorization and display of imaging utilization will prove to be widely useful.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
