Abstract
The research and development of Medical Imaging started in early 1970s, it has gradually matured as a science discipline during the past 30 years. This field requires the knowledge of physical sciences including engineering, physics, mathematics, computer science, as well as biomedical sciences including medicine and biology. Some significant contributions of medical imaging in healthcare are the development of various medical imaging modalities, 3-D rendering, image processing, image-aided diagnosis, and image-fusion. These contributions are important in the sense of small-scale applications. The development of picture archiving and communication system (PACS) in the 1990s provides very large image databases allowing the exploration of large-scale medical imaging applications. The method of the exploration is generally called medical imaging informatics.
