Article • Pioneering women in medical imaging informatics: Katherine P. Andriole

A journey from the cradle of digitization to the dawn of AI in radiology

Medical imaging has come a long way in the past four decades: Advances have been made in the digitization of images, but also towards more gender equality in a once male-dominated field. We talked with Katherine P. Andriole, Ph.D., a leading expert and one of the first women to enter the field, about the evolution of medical imaging informatics, experiences she has had, and her advice to those – both women and men – who want to enter the field.
