Initially, in the pre-technological period, they had to rely only on their senses. Then there were simple tools to help the human senses. The discovery of X-rays, which allowed people to look inside the body, turned out to be a major breakthrough. Contemporary medical diagnostics is increasingly being assisted by information technology that allows, for example, thorough image tissue analysis or pathology differentiation. They also allow very early preventive diagnostics. Influenced by information technology, classic diagnostic techniques change and new ones arise.\n\nInformation Technology in Medical Diagnostics presents selected and extended conference papers from Polish, Ukrain.
