The world of medical imaging is changing. Tasks that were once the sole domain of meticulously-engineered hardware are now beginning to be accomplished in software, increasingly informed by diverse arrays of inexpensive auxiliary sensors. Information once pursued through the laborious acquisition of carefully separated datasets is now being derived from newly integrated, and richly quantitative,data streams. It is a time of remarkable creative flux, with long-held assumptions about the underpinnings of imaging technology and practice beginning to be questioned in earnest. It is a perfect time, in short, to reimagine imaging. This talk will survey some of the disruptive forces and disruptive innovations which currently promise to change the value proposition of biomedical imaging.
