A Review on Architectures and Applications of Medical Imaging Cloud

Abstract

Cloud-based medical imaging stands as a crucial aspect of cloud computing, significantly impacting the medical field. By integrating cloud computing into medical imaging, we facilitate the sharing of vital information across medical institutions, consulting centers, and educational establishments. This approach allows patients to access essential medical resources with ease, irrespective of spatial limitations. Once medical images are obtained from the diagnostic devices, they can be uploaded to the cloud. This enables the rapid retrieval and sharing of these images, ensuring they are accessible for viewing and utilization by all users. In this article, we explore diverse applied architectures for implementing cloud-based medical imaging systems and discuss their applications. Additionally, we delve into crucial aspects of medical imaging cloud requirements, such as the security and privacy of medical data, service level agreements (SLAs), and quality of service (QoS). Addressing these concerns is paramount in ensuring the seamless and secure integration of cloud-based medical imaging systems in our healthcare landscape.
