PDF-(EBOOK)-The Sorcerer\'s Apprentice: How Medical Imaging Is Changing Health Care

Many will remember the segment of The Sorcerers Apprentice in the Disney film Fantasia it is a perfect metaphor for medical imaging as it stands today The apprentice magician tests his nascent skills at sorcery by bringing common household items to life and putting them to work At first things go well but eventually he loses control and chaos ensuesMedical imaging too could spin out of control The benefits of imaging are undeniable In the past thirty years innovations like CT MRI and PET scanning have not only markedly reduced clinical risk for patients but have also transformed medical practice Its costs however have grownexplosively to the point where imaging expenses have become a political issue The aggressive adoption of imaging technology has raised issues about the role of inappropriate economic incentives and the role of defensive medicine in driving up medical costsRadiologists have utilized imaging technology to transform their practice from a pure diagnostic discipline into a curative one Radiologists are among the most successful knowledge workers in the entire economy leveraging digital information technology and Internet connectivity to become the firstglobal medical discipline Imaging is poised to make a further quantum advance into the workings of the human cell and the molecular biology of complex diseaseWhere is this remarkable technology and the discipline which uses it headed How can society make the most responsible use of this powerful new tool How will imaging and radiologists reshape medical practice These questions will be answered by The Sorcerers Apprentice.

Informatics in Medical Imaging provides a comprehensive survey of the field of medical imaging informatics. In addition to radiology, it also addresses other specialties such as pathology, cardiology, dermatology, and surgery, which have adopted the use of digital images. The book discusses basic imaging informatics protocols, picture archiving and communication systems, and the electronic medical record. It details key instrumentation and data mining technologies used in medical imaging informatics as well as practical operational issues, such as procurement, maintenance, teleradiology, and ethics.HighlightsIntroduces the basic ideas of imaging informatics, the terms used, and how data are represented and transmitted Emphasizes the fundamental communication paradigms: HL7, DICOM, and IHE Describes information systems that are typically used within imaging departments: orders and result systems, acquisition systems, reporting systems, archives, and information-display systems Outlines the principal components of modern computing, networks, and storage systems Covers the technology and principles of display and acquisition detectors, and rounds out with a discussion of other key computer technologies Discusses procurement and maintenance issues ethics and its relationship to government initiatives like HIPAA and constructs beyond radiologyThe technologies of medical imaging and radiation therapy are so complex and computer-driven that it is difficult for physicians and technologists responsible for their clinical use to know exactly what is happening at the point of care. Medical physicists are best equipped to understand the technologies and their applications, and these individuals are assuming greater responsibilities in the clinical arena to ensure that intended care is delivered in a safe and effective manner. Built on a foundation of classic and cutting-edge research, Informatics in Medical Imaging supports and updates medical physicists functioning at the intersection of radiology and radiation.
