At present, medical digital image data used in CT, MRI, endoscopy, ultrasound, and the like are stored and communicated according to the international standard called DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine). Therefore, it is necessary to understand this DICOM standard to observe and to retrieve image data in order to analyze medical images with artificial intelligence. Moreover, handling medical data particularly requires offline working environment for the purpose of information security. After that, the same method can be employed as normal image analysis with AI.

Recently, big IT companies like GAFA are considering or conducting health-related business using their own big data and AI. At the moment, medical AI is generally at the research stage and few products have been commercialized. However, big data required for medical AI is extremely useful not only for AI but also for public health and marketing, thus already has enormous economic value. Therefore, such IT fields may demand professionals who are public health specialist and familiar with AI. This business also indispensably needs privacy protection measures.
