What Student Need to Know about Medical Imaging Informatics In Radio Diagnosis.

Medical imaging informatics (MII) includes many of the processes radiologists need to reach these goals. MII is the development, application, and assessment of information technology (IT) for clinical medical imaging. It includes the interfaces of IT and people. In practical terms, MII already occurs at a basic level throughout radiology practice, from the moment a clinician considers ordering an imaging study, until images and interpretation are used to plan the patient’s treatment. The radiologist synthesizes what he sees on the images, clinical data, and his medical knowledge to produce the interpretation. This should be a cohesive, accurate, helpful discussion that adds value to the images. Medical Imaging Informatics (MII) encompasses all equipment, components, and accessories that products provide one or more of the following functions: • Analog or digital electronic display, capable of being used for more than one image acquisition device • Communication using local and extended net
