Robotic surgery is proving effective in a growing number of procedures, but is often held back by higher costs and operation times. Now, advances in technology and the use of AI are increasingly mitigating these drawbacks. We also take a detailed look at the career path of becoming an advanced clinical practitioner (ACP) in radionuclide therapy, the potential of AI to help with clinical backlog in breast radiology and cytology, a new, ultra-low field MRI technique, the impact of staff shortage on clinical care, and much more.
