President's Page: Looking into the world of medical imaging from the perspective of a geophysicist

Abstract

I have worked in the geophysical industry and in academia as a geophysicist for 25 years. During the same time frame, I have also worked for 24 years in the medical industry. I founded a geophysical imaging company in 1998, and a year later I cofounded a medical imaging company. During the last seven years, I have led two biomedical companies to develop treatment solutions for bacterial infections and cancers. My career path offers me a unique insight into the world of medical imaging from the perspective of a geophysicist. In the following, I would like to share some of my observations, based on that unique perspective.
