Medical Imaging Technology

Paper Summary:

This paper looks at the advances in medical imaging technology and how these advances have made it necessary to have university programs devoted entirely to medical imaging technology. The paper also looks at why this technology can so easily be used inappropriately and how focusing on its potential and promise can help solve this problem.

From the Paper:

"Technology and technology applications in the medical fields are proliferating faster than proverbial rabbits. The advances in digital transmission of data, together with application of MRI technology and micro circuitry have created opportunities for the medical profession to gain more accurate information, analysis, and prognoses than ever before. MRI machines produce images which are clearer, and virtually three dimensional for the medical staff to use to accumulate diagnostic information. In previous decades, developing the talents to read imaging devices was included in part of broader based medical disciplines. But today, universities have advanced BS and MS degrees in medical imaging technology."
