**Mobile App allows doctors to diagnose from home


CT scans, MRIs coming to Doctors Mobile Devices
"The important mobile technology provides physicians with the ability to immediately view images and make diagnosises without having to be back at the work station or wait for film", said Dr. William Maisel, chief scientist and deputy director for science in the FDA's center for Device and Radiological Health


Positives:
  • Immediate results to doctors, and in turn, patients
  • 'Work from home'
Scares:

  • Easily able to make mistakes and overlook abnormalities from small screen

  • Since working from home, doctors can easily look over the 'picture' and give a quick response from distraction of life
