Implementing Machine Learning for Medical Devices and Radiology Images

Visualizing the human body using imaging studies is a vital part of a patient’s care journey. The generation, storage, and interpretation of these images are widely known as medical imaging. There are multiple types of medical images that address different diagnostic needs of patients. Some of the common types include X-ray, ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Each of these types of imaging studies needs specific equipment, lab setup, and trained professionals who can operate the equipment. Radiologists are medical professionals who specialize in diagnosing medical conditions using medical images. A radiologist also performs imaging studies using specialized equipment and is able to generate and interpret radiology reports. The rate of growth in imaging studies has continued to rise since the early 2000s. However, since these studies are costly, it is important...
