What Is Clinical Data Informatics?

Clinical Data Informatics (CDI) encompasses AI, systems engineering, MLOps, design, building, and monitoring medical imaging in a more sophisticated data management infrastructure.

Join SIIM to learn more about CDI topics. There's a membership in SIIM for everyone!

Clinical Practice

AI and Computer Vision Machine Learning (CVML) on medical images already show potential to make predictions from medical images that are clinically valuable. To get the most value out of clinically-oriented CVML requires a deep understanding of medical imaging technology and clinical fields that produce medical images. Similarly, understanding and evaluating the value of CVML products requires understanding both clinical and business effects of the predictions made by these products.

Medical Imaging Data

There is no good AI without good data. Medical images are both vitally valuable and have unique characteristics, some of which are substantially different from other data. How to think about medical imaging data, how to manage it, and what medical image data mean from business and clinical standpoints have begun a breathtaking paradigm shift. Medical imaging assets, processes, and infrastructure are critical to an organization’s long-term successful use of AI.
