From the Paper:

"The diagnosis of disease in human patients is performed by the physician through medical or clinical imaging when the affected body part is not visible, or it is arrived at through a research-based understanding of the body processes (Wikipedia 2004). The physician infers the cause from the evident or visible tissue effect, that is, inversely. Radiology is a diagnostic specialty that uses x-rays, ultrasound, radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and other new technology forms. In the past, the physician performed imaging by simply feeling the affected body area in visualizing the condition of the invisible internal organs involved. This method was traditionally used in diagnosing conditions aneurysm, fracture, and enlarged internal organs, but the diagnosis was based on subjective interpretation and needed further tests to confirm it (Wikipedia)."
