How will AI transform Radiology for both doctors & patients? I sit down with Dr. Sean Raj, Breast Radiologist & SimonMed’s Chief Medical & Chief Innovation Officer, to learn how AI is transforming how we interpret imaging tests & deliver results. We discuss how AI is making us better, more efficient Radiologists while also transforming the patient experience with easier scheduling & results delivery (he blows my mind with the Instagram style reels each patient receives with their personalized test results). We also discuss whole-body MRI (he's pro btw!).

I learned a lot from the conversation & I know you will too!
