Strengthening medical imaging
Medical imaging developed rapidly to play a central role in medicine today by supporting diagnosis and treatment of a disease. Medical imaging encompasses technologies like ultrasonography, x-rays, mammography, computed tomography (CT scans), and nuclear medicine.
Medical imaging is crucial in a variety of medical settings and at all major levels of health care. The use of diagnostic imaging services is essential in confirming, assessing and documenting the course of many diseases and response to treatment.
Many low and lower-middle income countries cannot afford imaging equipment, and often there is a shortage of healthcare workers trained to use such equipment.
The WHO collaborates with partners and manufacturers to develop technical solutions for improved diagnostic imaging services in remote locations. In addition, the WHO and partners provide training programs in the use and management of medical imaging with emphasis on patient safety.
