From X-rays and CT scans to MRI and PET scans, imaging allows doctors to see inside patients to aid in diagnosis, treatment planning, and much more. With technological advances, medical imaging continues to become more detailed, fast, and accessible. In recent years, there has been a growing focus on using real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) in healthcare and medical research. Real-world data comes from a variety of sources, including electronic health records, insurance claims data, patient registries, and now, medical imaging data. Here’s why imaging data is a vital piece of the real-world data puzzle: The Power of Imaging Ground Truth In domains such as radiology, dermatology, ophthalmology, and pathology, the picture is a reference - ground-truth data. Medical imaging provides...
