Imaging systems in radiology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Imaging has provided the ability of physicians to 'see inside' the body, enabling significantly more accurate diagnosis than was possible by physical examination. Radiological imaging is now widely used for diagnosis, and increasingly for therapeutic guidance. Its naturally digital form has also enabled artificial intelligence, and specifically deep learning to improve diagnostic accuracy and also increase the quantitative content in imaging reports. This chapter will describe the history of these systems initially replacing film images, but now producing lifelike 3D visualizations, and applying deep learning to extract information that can rival human performance.
