I. Essential differences
The essence of medical imaging is to diagnose and evaluate the physiological and pathological process of patients by using medical knowledge and technology. Imaging medicine mainly focuses on the application of medical knowledge, that is, how to use medical knowledge and technology for imaging diagnosis to help doctors make correct diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Imaging technology focuses on the principle and technology of imaging equipment, that is, how to make high-quality images for doctors to diagnose.
Second, define the difference.
Imaging medicine refers to the subject field that uses medical imaging technology to diagnose and study patients, including the basic theory, technology and methods of medical imaging, as well as instruments and equipment related to medical imaging technology.
Imaging technology refers to the subject field that uses computer, optics and electronics to analyze and process medical images, including medical image processing, three-dimensional reconstruction, virtual reality and so on.
Three. research field
The research fields of imaging medicine mainly include:
1, medical imaging diagnosis and evaluation. Medical imaging helps doctors diagnose and evaluate patients' condition by using various medical imaging technologies, such as X-ray, CT scan, MRI, PET scan, etc. And provide accurate treatment for doctors.
2. Medical imaging research. By analyzing the data of medical images, medical images can study the internal structure and function of human body, understand the occurrence, development and prognosis of diseases, and provide basic data and theoretical basis for medical research.
The research fields of imaging technology mainly include:
1, medical image processing. Medical image processing refers to the digital processing and analysis of medical images by using computer technology and algorithms, such as image enhancement, image segmentation and image recognition. To improve the readability and clarity of medical images.
2. Three-dimensional reconstruction. Three-dimensional reconstruction refers to the transformation of medical images into three-dimensional models through digital technology and computer algorithms for applications such as virtual reality and surgical simulation.
