Medical imaging techniques have significantly evolved beyond simple diagnostic applications , to play a key role in treatments and procedures . From 3D imaging and fMRIs to hyperspectral imaging ; and portable imaging ( such as mobile CT , and mobile MRI ) to integrating with AR / VR technologies , advanced medical imaging techniques are helping healthcare professionals improve procedural accuracy , lower risk and deliver life-changing medical care every day .
However , the decentralised and diverse nature of this data coupled with its sheer volume is making organising , analysing and drawing meaningful conclusions from it an uphill task . In comes medical imaging informatics .
By merging information technology and data science for medical data , medical imaging informatics offers tools and solutions to manage such volumes of data securely and efficiently .
Medical imaging informatics in the context of clinical trials
Particularly in the context of clinical trials , medical imaging informatics has become an indispensable tool to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pioneering medical interventions including patient selection and stratification , baseline assessment and disease characterisation , treatment monitoring and response evaluation and safety assessment of the trials .
As a result of such methodical reform , medical professionals and researchers are able to achieve outstanding outcomes in targeted recruitment , diagnostic accuracy , selection of appropriate treatment regimens , substantive measurement of treatment and investigational efficacy , early detection of adverse events and high-impact personalised medicine .
Here ’ s a peek into how medical imaging informatics is changing the world of healthcare as we know it .
