WHAT IS CODING?

is a process used to encrypt information in a particular code or pattern

based on some set of rules to ensure error free traansmission of digital
information in digital communication.
 Decoding

WHAT IS DECODING?

is the reverse process of coding. It is a process that involves the

decryption of the pattern into its original form from the given codes.

These are diagnostic codes that create a uniform vocabulary

for describing the causes of injury, illness, and death.

A collection of standardized codes that represent Used to document the majority of the medical
medical procedures, supplies, products, and services. procedures performed in a physician's office.

also known as health information technicians, gather, process, and organize

medical information in accordance to medical and insurance coding. They
use medical software to assign codes to different diagnoses and procedures a
patient has received for the purpose of billing.

 Signal Processing
Imaging Science & Informatics

WHAT IS SIGNAL PROCESSING?

An electrical engineering subfield that focuses on analyzing,

modifying, and synthesizing signal such as; images, sounds, and
scientific measurements. It refers to analog or digital manipulation of
a signal. The signal could be an electric current or voltage, as in the
case in
