In medical work, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment mainly rely on a large amount of data and information. Whether these data are accurate, timely and comprehensive is directly related to the patient's life. Computer in this regard with its accuracy, high speed and large storage capacity for saving lives and making a special contribution.
For example, in a typical medical laboratory, all the experimental equipment is connected to the central computer. The central computer according to the patient's name, date of onset, test results, attending physician and so on to categorize and store all the results. It also prints out the necessary reports, laboratory records and other statistical results for the doctor. When examining and testing patients, the computer is able to detect those anomalous data with minimal changes and send timely alerts to the medical staff so that diagnostic results will be more accurate and less error-prone. The most important thing is that the computer can shorten the time of those tests that are related to the patient's life.
There are also advanced computer-controlled medical devices that can assist doctors in completing tests that were previously unavailable. For example, CT technology, which is computerized tomography, has been used in major hospitals in recent years. It assists doctors in diagnosing early cancer. It uses an X-ray transmitter and detector that rotate around the patient's body to obtain accurate images of a full cross-section of the patient's body to show specific organs. The rays pass through the body and are detected by the detector, which produces thousands of pieces of data related to the rate of absorption. Based on this information, the computer reconstitutes an accurate color image of a cross-section of the organ under test, so that layer by layer, it is as if the organ is cut open and examined layer by layer, and even the smallest tumors are difficult to escape the doctor's eyes. Once the doctor determines the size and location of the tumor, he can determine the treatment plan. If it can be surgically removed, it will give the patient a new life.
In addition to this, computers have a huge role to play in medical management, disease prevention and treatment, physical examination and health care, and medical education.
