How Computers Are Taking Center Stage in the Diagnosis of Disease
My clinical specialty of radiology revolves around image interpretation. We interpret X-rays, MRIs, PET scans, ultrasound, computed tomography and other diagnostic images. Though two people may appear similar, no two diagnostic images are ever identical. Every liver, brain, or gall bladder is a bit different. This trend holds for individuals with and without disease. Radiologists are experts at identifying normal anatomy and knowing when variations from normal may imply disease. That is why there are over 30,000 radiologists providing clinical care in the U.S. alone.
