Article • ECR 2026 imagines the future of the field

Enhanced by AI, but guided by humans: Radiology’s vision for 2050

Diagnostic imaging without actual images, but with sleek and shiny scanners; no more radiology and pathology departments, but virtual patient models and AI-enhanced surgical precision: At this year's European Congress of Radiology (ECR) in Vienna, two leading experts envisioned 2050 as a radically different future of medicine – less Grey's Anatomy, more Star Trek. They made it clear that the real question is not whether this future will arrive, but who will be there to shape it.
