Digitalization, standardization, large-volume data storage, and big data applications are increasingly used in medical research. The development of big data use will change the traditional model of medical care and prioritize services such as early prevention, early diagnosis, and early treatment. With the public expectation of better healthcare services, continuing personalized care will become increasingly important in healthcare management models. Informatization of medical imaging requires incorporating processes of prevention, diagnosis, and clinical operations into an e-network via the Internet. This is crucial to achieving core goals that fully demonstrate the benefits available through use of big data, as well as multipoint transmission and sharing in modern healthcare. This article reviews current applications of big data in the medical imaging field.
