The process of collecting and analyzing the data is critical in healthcare as it constitutes the basis for categorization of patient health problems. Data collected in medical practice ranges from free form text to structured text, numerical measurements, recorded signals, and imaging data. When admitted to the hospital, the patient often experiences additional tests varying from simple examinations such as blood tests, x-rays and electrocardiograms (ECGs), to more complex ones such as genetic tests, electromyograms (EMGs), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and position emission tomography (PET). Historically, the demographics collected from all these tests were characterized by uncertainty because often there was not. | IMAGING IN MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY William R.
