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. Highlights Introduces 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 radiology The 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.
