Imaging not only expands the scope of human examination and improves the diagnostic level, but also can treat some diseases. This has greatly expanded the work content of this discipline and become an important pillar in medical work.
X-ray was discovered by William Kon Radrontgen in 1895. In medicine, X-rays are used to examine the human body and diagnose diseases, forming a new discipline of diagnostic radiology and laying the foundation of medical imaging. Radiodiagnostics is still the main content of medical imaging, and it is widely used.
The new situation of medical imaging has been developing continuously. In the new century, the globalization and sustainable development of knowledge economy will become the mainstream of human social and economic development. Among them, life science and information science will be the main disciplines of cross-century scientific development.
Modern medicine is evidence-based medicine, and medical images, including various imaging examination and treatment methods, have become the largest source of clinical evidence. It is worth mentioning that the development trend of medical imaging is the integration and optimization of various imaging examination methods. In addition, medical imaging professionals also need information exchange and mutual integration.
The development of medical imaging is manifested in several aspects. Image digitization is the basic need of image development. Equipment networking can improve the efficiency of equipment use and support; Diagnostic integration can optimize various imaging examinations and improve the accuracy of diagnosis; Systematization of grouping can be more closely combined with clinic and give full play to the advantages of comprehensive imaging; And filing without files is to realize digital management.
Necessity
Digitalization of imaging department is an important part of hospital digitalization construction. Its main advantages are: it can simplify and accurately manage departments and provide a brand-new way to read digital images; Reduce cumbersome file management; The complete preservation of image data is the best guarantee for future scientific research, teaching and solving possible legal disputes; Reduce film consumption and save chemicals for cameras and film processors.
Digitalization of imaging department is still the demand of clinical departments. Image information is used in clinic. In the process of clinical diagnosis and treatment, emergency departments and operating rooms that are in urgent need of seeing images can quickly obtain image information, improve the level of emergency treatment, obviously speed up medical procedures and better serve patients.
