Medical Imaging

 

Abstract

 

The limits of radiography as a diagnostic tool are examined along with its potential. Improvements are

proposed. Aspects of the proposed improvements are discussed. Limits of the proposed system are also discussed. Costs are considered. Attitudes of interested partes from venture capital to banks to the medical profession are discussed. A business plan is put forward.

 

The reader is now invited to peruse the business plan, bearing in mind that it was written in 1989, and is, in some respects, financially in particular, now vastly out of date.

 

The technology has also moved on. It has been introduced but only in some areas. Some applications appear to have great merit. Other applications give the author some cause for concern. In this latter area are the attempts to map defects. If the 'maps' are indicative, well and good. If they are determinate, that is not so good. The author is of the view that computers do not have the ‘intelligence’ to ‘judge’ disease.

Finally, most of the existing applications do not have the range of display options that the author's system has.
