readily available speaks volumes with regard to how far the availability of detection has come. II. COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY The advancement of medical
technology would be nowhere without computers, which have become a significant part of every aspect of life; there is no denying their very presence has drastically altered humanitys existence since
the mid to late 1940s. Through a number of technological developments, computers have not only become integral components of daily life, but they have also been successfully assimilated into
medical diagnosis and treatment, with particular emphasis upon MRI, CT, bone scans, X-ray and digital imaging. Since 1945, there have been two monumental
discoveries responsible for launching computers into an entirely new realm of acceptance and, thus, the start of the computer revolution (Hoyle, 2002): the transistor and the microprocessor. The invention
of these two implements was instrumental in integrating computers from the fringes of society to its accepted status within the medical community, inasmuch as prior to these developments, the only
people who were capable of operating or even understanding computers were those who had an intrinsic comprehension of such complicated machinery. However, there was destined to be a change
with regard to the overall application in order for computers to become significantly more user-friendly throughout the curative environment. Such developments caught the
attention of two young computer hackers by the names of Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Together, they created their own improvements of existing computer programs and operations, ultimately establishing
themselves as independent developers and peddling their knowledge where they knew it would be noticed. Gates and Allen worked frantically in order to present their application to Ed Roberts,
