Computer Science AND DOCTORS
Jolena CoTruong- 6th period
Importance of Computer Science
• Maintain record systems• Billing and Financial Systems• Analysis• Material Management• Radiology• Clinical Management• Tracking Patients
Advanced Health Care• Computer Science has made incredible advances
in health care. Without computer science, the accomplishments such as image processing and pattern recognition technology that now commonly evaluate radiology scans would never have been done.
• Finding the human genome was only possible because of algorithms developed by computer scientists
• Electronic medical records and physician ordering systems are now coming on-line which reduces medical errors and improves quality of care.
• Computers are a reliable product to hospitals due to its effective and efficient performance.
• Things like open heart surgery to X-rays, computers make everything much easier
• Heart rates, pulse rates, brain readings and other specifications are monitored and recorded continuously by computers
Help with Operations
High tech surgery tools and instruments embedded with cameras are used in
surgical procedures. The operations done by medical experts are completely
recorded by the computers for future references and to avoid complications
Computer software is used for diagnosis of diseases. It can be used for the
examination of internal organs of the body. Some complex surgeries can be
performed with the help of computers.
Computer Surgeries
Computer Assisted Surgeries, or CAS, is a field which combines the expertise in medicine with technology to create a fast, effective, and accurate surgical procedure. Also in CAS, a model of the patient is created then analyzed for surgery. The surgery is then tested on the virtual patient. The surgery can be performed by a robot programmed by a
medical professional or they can assist a doctor during an ACTUAL surgery.
Different types of monitoring equipment in hospitals are often based
on computer programming. Medical imaging deals with techniques to
create images of the human body for medical purposes. Many of the modern methods of scanning and imaging are
largely based on computer technology. Computer Science has shaped the
medical world to be better and more efficient.
