Seeing the Difference Imaging Can Make in Medicine
Manage episode 507907249 series 3310873
Dr. Michael Koren joins Kevin Geddings to discuss the pivotal role imaging has played in diagnosis and understanding of various diseases. Dr. Koren notes that before the science of imaging, the only way to see what was going on inside the body was with a knife. They then discuss some of the newest applications of imaging and how the use of CT scans and amyloid PET scans can see inside the heart and arteries to see how a disease is progressing or the effectiveness of new medications.
They talk about the progress that has been made and how we are able to see what's happening, but note that access to these imaging technologies is not evenly available and that sometimes cost or insurance can get in the way of healthcare access. Dr. Koren then points out that clinical research may offer some patients a way for some patients to access these imaging technologies outside of the traditional healthcare system if they have risks or signs of diseases being studied.
