Abstract:
MRI brings together physics, engineering, and clinical medicine, creating a wide range of career opportunities. I will share my own path from academic research and industry collaboration to product management and marketing, including what an MBA added to a technical background. I will also look at where the field is heading through both technical and business lenses: AI throughout the imaging chain, ultra-high-performance gradients, and low-helium systems expanding patient access.
