With commercial space flights around the corner, the need for cosmic medical care is just a matter of time. French radiologists develop ways to perform small surgical interventions. Meanwhile on Earth, ways are found to enhance MR imaging through machine learning, use mass spectrometry during cancer surgery – and protect critical healthcare institutions against cyberattacks.
