An Overview of Information Technology's Effect on Radiology Services

Abstract

Erik Ranschaert

The most advanced imaging devices are being used to study novel methods for personal identification. This research might help identify catastrophe victims in upcoming major disasters. Advanced imaging for positive identification in forensic pathology employing radiographic image recognition and other identification or authentication techniques has already been the subject of studies. These methods are based on data gleaned from biological fingerprints using CT and MRI scans, digital radiography, and other cutting-edge imaging methods. Despite being in its early phases of development, picture matching and identification in sophisticated digital images has demonstrated promise outcomes in reducing medical errors and for identifying specific patients. In the disciplines of forensic pathology, forensic odontology, and forensic anthropology, these procedures might be useful for positive identification.
