Crowdsourcing and Radiology
Crowdsourcing is the collaboration of many people with various strengths and skills to solve a problem. It is a common tool that contributes to the rapidly innovative changes seen today. While the earliest knowledge we have of crowdsourcing was in the 1700s with the British government's Longitude Act, more recent examples include Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia that can be freely edited; Linux, an open source operating system; and Waze, a popular GPS navigation app that allows users to contribute content about driving routes, such as the locations of roadblocks and photo-enforced traffic lights.
