Medical imaging has transformed healthcare. If you look up any major disease, some form of medical imaging will be involved in the diagnosis or treatment of that disease. Not only can diseases be diagnosed earlier, medical imaging gives more treatment options, and are also being used to see if treatment is working successfully.
