What will be an ideal response?
Storing image data in image data files is the leading step in creating an electronic document storage and retrieval system. However, a typical hospital can create hundreds or thousands of electronic images per day. For instance, at registration, patient identification and insurance status is frequently captured by scanning identification and insurance cards for each patient admitted. Scanning is the process of converting data printed on paper-based (or other flat) media into electronic format by using a device called a scanner.
