Medical imaging plays a critical role in contemporary diagnosis. However, as artificial intelligence (AI) transforms the capabilities of scanners and the actions of clinicians, the disparity between emerging technological advancements and their practical implementation is becoming increasingly apparent.
In this episode of *The Futurist*, host Ian Khan engages with four prominent experts at the crossroads of technology and healthcare to assess the current state of this disparity.
