Abstract

At the start of 2026, iRADIOLOGY is thrilled to spotlight the transformative journey of artificial intelligence (AI) in medical imaging, a field that is revolutionizing and reshaping modern healthcare practice.When we look back at the long river of history, the historical convergence between medical imaging and machine intelligence can be seen to be rooted in the groundbreaking work of pioneers such as Wilhelm Röntgen, Alan Turing, and many others.Their legacies, though separated by disciplines and decades, now intersect in the realm of intelligent imaging, remolding how we diagnose, treat, and manage diseases.
