South Korea is piloting a new digital system for patients to receive, share, and verify their medical images electronically. With around 9,000 facilities having participated in the development of such a system since 2016, the aim is to reduce the need for physical imaging like MRIs and CT scans on CDs, while enhancing patient care and preventing duplicate testing. Improving medical imaging data exchange forms part of broader efforts to promote health data usage across hospitals.
