Countries covered: United States
Medical imaging is undergoing a revolution from analog imaging to digital imaging. This report covers the changing medical imaging field from conventional x-ray to new modalities such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Radiology departments in hospitals are being renamed Diagnostic Imaging Departments to indicate the new modalities. The new diagnostic imaging departments will be integrated via the Picture Archival and Communications System (PACS) from the imaging system, to viewing on workstations, and data storage on laser disks. As a result, the radiologist will be able to compare images from different modalities at one time on a workstation. From BCC.
