Why the “Average Patient” Can’t Exist in Medical Imaging | Dr. Ehsan Samei

In this episode of Rethink Imaging, host Chris St. John sits down with medical physics legend Dr. Ehsan Samei to dissect why medical imaging often treats patients as population aggregates rather than individuals. Dr. Samei breaks down the hidden "degrees of freedom" in scan acquisitions, challenges the industry's reliance on rigid manufacturer default protocols, and outlines how physicists and radiologists can work together to deliver truly personalized, patient-centric care.
