On this episode of the Big Brains podcast, a medical physicist digs into how AI-enhanced MRIs could transform health care.
What does it mean to see beneath the surface—of the human body, the brain, or even the universe itself? In his groundbreaking new book, Daniel Sodickson, a pioneer of MRI innovation, explores the future of imaging: how technology is transforming not just medicine, but our very ways of perceiving the world.
