Imaging Informatics

Imaging informatics (also known as radiology informatics, a component of wider medical or healthcare informatics) includes systems to transfer images and radiology data between radiologists, referring physicians, patients and the entire enterprise. This includes picture archiving and communication systems (PACS), wider enterprise image systems, radiology information. systems (RIS), connections to share data with the electronic medical record (EMR), and software to enable advanced visualization, reporting, artificial intelligence (AI) applications, analytics, exam ordering, clinical decision support, dictation, and remote image sharing and viewing systems.

Lack of transparency in AI research limits reproducibility, renders work 'worthless'

A recent analysis found that a significant amount of studies do not provide information pertaining to their raw data, source code or model. As a result, up to 97% of these studies do not produce systems that are fit to be used in real-world clinical scenarios.
