Episode overview
AI is accelerating MRI, moving imaging upstream into prevention, and catching disease years before symptoms. In this episode of Radiology Rewired, Dr. Dan Sodickson, a pioneer of parallel imaging and modern MRI, explains his take on imaging's evolving role in patient care.
After nearly two decades leading imaging research at NYU Langone, Dr. Sodickson is now Chief Medical Scientist at Function Health, tackling a different question: what happens when radiology's most powerful tools are used before disease rears its head, not after?
We get into the ideas reshaping the future of imaging: how AI is compressing 20-minute MRI scans into a single minute, why "scanners with memory" could make follow-up imaging faster and cheaper, how combining MRI with blood work and prior scans can detect cancer years before symptoms, and why Dr. Sodickson believes faster, more accessible imaging is inevitable.
