Medical imaging is the foundation of modern diagnosis. But as AI reshapes what scanners can see and what clinicians can do, the gap between technological progress and real-world delivery has never been more visible.
In this episode of The Futurist, host Ian Khan sits down with four leading voices at the intersection of technology and care delivery to find out where that gap stands today.
Shez Partovi, Chief Innovation Officer at Philips, shares data from the company's annual Future Health Index, revealing a 20-point optimism gap between clinicians and patients, and why 35% of physicians are spending more time on admin today than five years ago. He also breaks down how Philips' AI-powered imaging is cutting scan times by 50% and reducing X-ray dose by up to 80%.
Gretchen Brown, Chief Nursing Information Officer at Stanford Health Care, brings a 30-year clinical perspective on what it will take to shift the culture around AI adoption.
Mike Mosquito, Head of Enterprise Automation and Integration at FOX Rehabilitation, makes the case for why data is the new currency of healthcare operations.
Dr. Carlos Cordon-Cardo, Chairman of Pathology at Mount Sinai, explains how digital pathology is turning cancer grading from a subjective judgment into an objective, reproducible science.
A candid conversation on where AI is working, where it isn't, and what comes next.
Key Highlights from the Session
How diagnostic imaging informs nearly 80% of clinical decisions, and why AI is now central to managing that load
How a CT brain scan went from 24 images to 2,400 in a decade, and why that makes AI non-negotiable for radiologists
How Philips' AI-powered imaging is cutting scan times by 50%, improving image quality by 65%, and reducing X-ray dose by up to 80%
The three ways agentic AI is reshaping imaging workflows: automation, augmentation, and agility
How digital pathology is turning cancer grading from a subjective call into an objective, reproducible science
Why AI will not replace radiologists and clinicians, and what it will actually change about how they work
