Computer scientists, electrical engineers devising algorithms that look for useful new patterns in medical sensor data

Medical radiography is basically a species of photography. Historically, the patient's limb would be positioned between an x-ray source and a photographic plate. The plate would be exposed and developed, and the result was an image of the limb's interior. Today, most larger x-ray machines use digital sensors rather than photographic film, but otherwise, little has changed. The raw data captured by the sensors is easily interpretable as a visual image.
