Promising a Healthy Future
Medical imaging is extending human vision into the very nature of disease, thus enabling a new and more powerful generation of diagnosis and intervention. Medical imaging is also melding such advances with the productivity-enhancing power of digital and information technology — fostering greater efficiency, quality, and value in health delivery.
Medical imaging at the molecular and cellular levels will permit diagnosis before symptoms appear and provide individualized, genomic-based therapy with pinpoint accuracy. See Molecular
Surgery of the future will be bloodless, painless, and non-invasive. It will be powered by medical imaging systems that focus on the disease and unleash energy therapy to destroy the target, but preserve healthy tissue. See Surgery
Advances in information technologies and digital imaging will offer clinicians new ways to capture and utilize images — some in 3-D, some in real-time, some beamed directly from inside the patient. See Smart Technology
