Medical imaging is critical to diagnosing, monitoring, and, in some cases, treating a vast array of illnesses and conditions, from cancer to traumatic injury. As imaging technologies advance, there is a need to keep track of where imaging capacity exists.
As new medical imaging technologies become available and population needs change, it is important to keep track of where imaging capacity exists, how equipment is used, and the adoption of tools that may support appropriate imaging, system efficiencies, and wait-list reductions.
Demand for imaging exams has been shown to exceed capacity in some settings, leading to long wait times. 3,7 Factors such as expanding clinical indications, aging of the population, and increasing incidence of diseases such as cancer have contributed to the greater demand for imaging. 8 Excessive wait times can result in adverse outcomes for pat...
Medical imaging is a vital component of modern health care, playing a role in the diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of many diseases and conditions. As new medical imaging technologies become available and population needs change, it is important to keep track of where imaging capacity exists and how equipment is being used.
Access to images outside medical imaging departments by referring and consulting physicians is important for efficient patient care, particularly so in a country like Canada, with its large geographic size and dispersed population.
As new medical imaging technologies become available and population needs change, it is important to keep track of where imaging capacity exists and how equipment is being used. This is the third iteration of the Canadian Medical Imaging Inventory (CMII) since CADTH resumed the collection of this data in 2015.
