THE FUTURE OF MEDICAL IMAGING



The New England Journal of Medicine selected medical imaging as one of 
the 11 most important innovations of the past 1,000 years.  Dramatic 
advances in medical imaging technologies have allowed physicians to 
detect, diagnose, and treat diseases earlier and more accurately, often 
reducing costs. Medical imaging is extending human vision into the very 
nature of disease, enabling a new and more powerful generation of 
diagnosis and intervention.



Join a panel of distinguished government, industry, and academic experts 
as they examine the role of medical imaging in the future of health care.



This briefing will unveil new advances in imaging and showcase how 
patients benefit from sustained investments in research on medical 
imaging through the continued development of less invasive, more 
precise, and cost-effective diagnostics and treatments.
