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.

Thanks.
