Thanks @Walter for your reply. The application will most likely be a system that helps in diagnosing "Lung cancer", by for example comparing a scan with other scans in the database that look similar, based on which we can aid the physicican (Radiologist)in giving his diagnosis. But, I really asked my question generally because I'm asking about the "Healthcare IT" in general since I think what I'm thinking about is part of this field. So, before being specific, I just wanted to know what is recommended as a pathway especially for Ruby on Rails developers, and that is why I chose to ask such question in a Ruby on Rails related forum. I'm interested in the opinion of the Ruby on Rails developers in approaching such field.
