Section titled “Concept”AWS HealthImaging is a service for storing huge medical images such as X-rays and MRIs and showing them quickly. Medical images are usually kept in a standard format called DICOM, and HealthImaging supports this format. The images are stored in the cloud, and a doctor’s viewer or other apps can fetch them quickly from there. This way a hospital does not have to run a large storage system itself. The same image data can also be used for ML or research work.
