Affidea was proud to contribute to this important dialogue through the voice of our SVP Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Alessandro Roncacci, who took part as a panelist in the Frontiers session “Translating developing technologies into clinical practice.”

Together with key stakeholders from across the industry, Dr. Roncacci explored how emerging technologies can move from research into routine care, helping radiology play a pivotal role in healthcare transformation.

The discussions highlighted how is rapidly evolving to advance precision medicine, bringing together Agentic AI, Quantitative Imaging Biomarkers, Genomics, Digital Pathology, and new therapies like Theranostics, and how these technologies can be responsibly integrated into clinical practice to create real value for patients.

Reflecting on his participation, Dr. Alessandro Roncacci shared: “ is no longer just about seeing, it is about shaping. Imaging has become the driving force of precision medicine, enabling earlier detection, personalised treatments, and real-time guidance for clinicians. What became clear during the session is that the future of imaging is not on the horizon, it is already here. Our shared responsibility as clinicians, innovators, and industry leaders is to ensure these technologies are safely, sustainably, and equitably integrated into healthcare systems, so they truly serve patients.”
