Radiology by its nature is intricately connected to the Internet and is at the forefront of technology in medicine. The past few years have seen a dramatic rise in Internet-based technology in healthcare, with imaging as a core application. Numerous Internet-based applications and technologies have made forays into medicine, and for radiology it is more seamless than in other clinical specialties. Many applications in the practice of radiology are Internet based and more applications are being added every day. Introduction of mobile devices and their integration into imaging workflow has reinforced the role played by the Internet in radiology. Due to the rapid proliferation of wearable devices and smartphones, IoT-enabled technology is evolving healthcare from conventional hub-based systems to more personalized healthcare systems. This article briefly discusses how the IoT plays a useful role in daily imaging workflow and current and potential future applications, how mobile devices can be integrated into radiology workflows, and the impact of the IoT on resident and medical student education, research, and patient engagement in radiology.
放射学本质上与互联网紧密相连，处于医学技术的前沿。在过去的几年中，医疗保健领域的基于互联网的技术呈爆发式增长，影像学是其核心应用之一。许多基于互联网的应用和技术已经进入医学领域，对于放射科来说，它比其他临床专业更加无缝。许多放射学实践中的应用都是基于互联网的，并且每天都有更多的应用被添加进来。移动设备的引入及其与成像工作流程的集成，加强了互联网在放射学中的作用。由于可穿戴设备和智能手机的迅速普及，物联网技术正在将医疗保健从传统的基于中心的系统转变为更个性化的医疗保健系统。本文简要讨论了物联网在日常成像工作流程以及当前和潜在的未来应用中如何发挥有用作用，以及如何将移动设备集成到放射科工作流程中，以及物联网对住院医师和医学生教育、研究以及患者参与放射学的影响。
