Medical Images in Integrated Health Care Workstations
Abstract:
The difference between an invention and a discovery is discussed, before turning to the sources of medical images. Next, the ongoing integration of image modalities in clinical routine is reviewed, as well as improvements in diagnosis and therapy planning with the help of better images in inter-connected distributed systems. Current shortcomings of image processing, and the attempts to overcome these shortcomings are presented. Examples of image processing are given, together with a vision on future systems and procedures.

Integrated Healthcare System
Health Information Technology and Healthcare Information System
Health Information Technology, commonly called HIT, integrates advanced information systems and technology in healthcare settings. Its primary functions include:
Imaging Studies I: CT and MRI
Description of the Procedures
Computed Tomography (CT) scan:
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use X-ray technology to generate detailed images of bones, organs, and tissues. During the scan, the patient lies on a moving table...
Nursing Clinical Information System
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
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...
