Faster, cheaper scans after establishing baselines

Daniel explains neural networks can reconstruct high‑quality images from far less data once baseline scans exist.

Episode notes

Most of medicine is built around snapshots. You feel something, you test for it, and by the time you find it, you’re already behind. But what if the problem isn’t the test—it’s how we use it? In this episode, I sit down with physicist and imaging pioneer Dr. Daniel Sodickson, Chief Medical Scientist at Function Health and author of The Future of Seeing. We break down why tools like MRI are shifting from one-time scans to something far more powerful: tracking your health over time. Watch the full conversation on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts. In this episode, we cover: • Why waiting for symptoms puts you behind—and how to get ahead • What an MRI can reveal about your body that bloodwork can’t • How tracking your health over time helps you catch problems sooner • Why having a baseline could change the way you make health decisions • What it means to shift from reacting to disease to actually predicting it When you stop looking at a single result and start looking at patterns, you can catch changes earlier, reduce false alarms, and better predict where your health is headed.
