Radiology: Radiologists use this archive to access a variety of images such as CT scans, MRI scans that help them in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. + +2. Oncology: Oncologists use it to study various types of cancers. They can access images from different stages of cancer which aids them in understanding the progression of the disease. + +3. Neurology: Neurologists use it to study various neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease etc., by analyzing brain scans available in the archive. + +4. Pathology: Pathologists use it for studying disease processes and analyzing tissue samples from patients with various diseases. + +5. Clinical Trials: The NBIA is also used extensively in clinical trials where imaging plays a crucial role. Researchers can share their findings with others around the world which promotes collaborative studies. + +6. Machine Learning/AI Research: The large collection of biomedical images also serves as a valuable resource for researchers working on developing machine learning algorithms for image recognition and diagnosis purposes. \ No newline at end of file
