From X-ray film to digitized imaging and AI-powered decision support: The evolution of radiology over the past few decades is exemplary for the impact of advancing technology on healthcare. Progress has also been made regarding gender equity, with an increasing number of women entering once male-dominated fields. In this newsletter, we also explore promising innovations, such as novel biomarkers, 3D imaging techniques, genetic sequencing and chip-based organoid testing for different cancers. Enjoy reading!
