The Challenge
In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare technology, one persistent challenge has been the management and utilization of vast amounts of medical imaging data. Healthcare providers and researchers faced significant hurdles:
Limited access to archival imaging studies
Inability to query databases based on image features
Time-consuming data retrieval for research, often taking days
Lack of efficient tools for generating statistics from imaging data
These limitations not only hampered research efforts but also impacted the speed and quality of patient care.
