Medical Image Processing: Captivating Medical Imaging Forward Through Cloud-Based Image Exchanges

ABSTRACT The importance of Medical Image Processing can be easily appreciated by drawing a parallel to flying an airplane. Can a professional pilot with thousands of hours of flying experience, fly a simple airplane without seeing anything or without using any of the sensors/instruments/indicators? Many sophisticated airplanes now rely less on Visuals but more on instruments/dashboard. However these instruments/images are as vital and important as the pilot himself and his experience. Similarly for a professional doctor treating any diseases, the medical imaging, processing and calculations would be extremely important for deciding treatment. The evolution of medical science have gone through many cycles and turbulent times. The curiosity in Human race to know more and explore unknown areas have been there right from beginning. Medical imaging in the cloud can help alleviate these limitations by providing more effective storage and access methods that will scale easily as the wealth of patient information and medical images in U.S. healthcare systems continues to grow.
