The mid-to-late 1990s to early 2000s era is defined by a rapid pivot to digital imaging frameworks in radiology. Dominant themes include the transition from analog detectors to digital imaging, the standardization and early deployment of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems, and a growing emphasis on dose awareness and optimization guided by radiobiology. This period also highlights the emergence of centralized workflows, streamlined storage, and improved sharing of imaging data, contributing to more efficient care coordination and decision making.
