ExpertCast: Top Healthcare Innovation Podcast by Million Podcasts

Early detection saves lives — and technology is taking this principle to new heights. In this episode of ExpertCast, Dr. Gustavo Meirelles welcomes Professor Hilde Bosmans, professor of medical physics and radiation protection at KU Leuven, Belgium, for a conversation about the future of breast cancer diagnosis.

Professor Bosmans explains why participation in screening programs is vital not only for individual survival but for population health as a whole. She describes how modern imaging technologies — from digital mammography and tomosynthesis to spectral imaging and contrast-enhanced techniques — are enabling earlier, more accurate detection while keeping radiation doses safe.

The discussion also highlights the growing importance of training, quality assurance, and double reading in European screening programs, as well as emerging modalities like automated breast ultrasound and AI-assisted MRI reconstruction.

Together, they explore how innovation, collaboration, and patient-centered care are reshaping breast imaging — helping clinicians truly “see earlier and care better.”
