It's that time again: welcome to our traditional end-of-year roundup of most-read articles in 2024! The past twelve months saw the advent of powerful new imaging equipment and techniques, providing deeper insights into a range of diseases and conditions, and allowing for improved diagnostics. Unsurprisingly, AI has further increased its impact across all medical specialties, with notable examples focusing on automated organ and even cell segmentation, as well as improved staging methods. Generative AI, popularized by ChatGPT and its competitors, also shows enormous potential in healthcare; experts predict that GenAI tools will greatly reduce the administrative burden for healthcare staff, improve doctor-patient communication, and bring many other benefits to the table. Finally, the coronavirus remains relevant well past its pandemic phase; now, the quest for advanced long Covid diagnostics and therapies is on and will certainly continue into 2025 and beyond. Enjoy reading, stay healthy and stay tuned!
