Overview
Taking a holistic approach, this book describes the developments in medicine and medical technology from ancient times to modern days. It is an exciting journey where readers will learn about the many great inventions by people that did not take the knowledge of their times as a fact. They challenged mysticism, beliefs, the religion, and the Church. They were true scientists long before we knew how to define what a scientist is. This book is, in a way, connecting the dots between the past and the future within healthcare. Features * Provides details on further developments that gave new and exceptional information for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes Gives the reader a new perspective and a common thread of life on medicine and MedTech as well as an improved understanding of how far we have come and how much there still is to work on before we fully understand the human body and its functionality Discusses and gives insight into ongoing research projects that could become clinically available in the future

Reviews
It really cover a breath of technologies!! There is so much to be learned when you go back in history. Bengt did a ton of research to give a perspective rarely presented in scientific related topics. I liked the molecular imaging and microscopy sections, but then those on the future of healthcare and the role of artificial intelligence. Bengt is a visionary. I worked side by side with him for over 6 years and I learned that hard work and humility will lead to successful careers. - Jeanluc Vanderheyden (Currently the head of Oncidium Foundation USA, a non profit organization, and a pharmacist and chemist with over 45 years in pharmaceutical development).
