摘要
A study of grid technology was carried out. This technology is poised to transform computing from an individual and corporate activity into a general utility. Grid technologies are also making their mark in clinical medicine, where digital imaging has made it easier to compare mammograms and other body scans both across time for individual patients and across case populations.
