Computers in Radiology: Few Recent Advance

Opening of the article

Computers are an integral part of many activities within a Radiology Department. It is used fundamentally by different radiology modalities to acquire, process and post process imaging data. Newer processor technology enables more than one CPU core into a single chip for processing multiple instructions simultaneously, resulting in higher computational speeds. This are also called as multi-core CPU, which forms the basis of single core, dual core, Core2Duo, quad core etc. Healthcare standards assist the exchange, management and integration of different medical data (including radiology), that supports patient care.
