For quite some time, medicine and informatics were two subject areas that were not seen as linked. Performing medicine today is unimaginable without the error-free collection and efficient exchange of large amounts of data. Such data are not limited to the basic documentation of a patient, but also include findings from imaging procedures and form the basis for therapeutic decision-making.
