Big BrainsHow Full-Body MRIs Could Predict Your Long-Term Health, with Daniel SodicksonWhat does it mean to see beneath the surface — of the human body, the brain, or even the universe itself? In his new book, The Future of Seeing: How Imaging Is Changing Our World, Prof. Daniel Sodickson of NYU explores the future of imaging: How technology is transforming not just medicine, but our very ways of perceiving the world. With the rise of AI-driven “digital vision,” Sodickson, a pioneer of MRI innovation, argues that imaging is no longer just a diagnostic tool — it’s becoming a new language of discovery.In this conversation, Sodickson explores the promises and pitfal...

Something You Should KnowThink You’re Too Smart to Be Scammed? & The Invention That Changed MedicinePeople who live the longest aren’t always the ones with the “perfect” body weight. In fact, research suggests that being slightly overweight can actually increase your life expectancy. It sounds counterintuitive, but the science may surprise you. Listen as I explain what’s really going on. https://healthland.time.com/2013/01/02/being-overweight-is-linked-to-lower-risk-of-mortality/
Ever since the dawn of the Internet, we’ve been told to guard against hackers — but today’s biggest threat isn’t hacking, it’s scamming. Cybercriminals are more cunning than ever, tricking millions into giving up money and information every day. If you think you are too clever...

AI Engineering PodcastFrom MRI to World Models: How AI Is Changing What We SeeSummaryIn this episode of the AI Engineering Podcast Daniel Sodickson, Chief of Innovation in Radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, talks about harnessing AI systems to truly understand images and revolutionize science and healthcare. Dan shares his journey from linear reconstruction to early deep learning for accelerated MRI, highlighting the importance of domain expertise when adapting models to specialized modalities. He explores "upstream" AI that changes what and how we measure, using physics-guided networks, prior knowledge, and personal baselines to enable faster, cheaper, and more accessible imaging. The conversation covers multimodal world models, cross-disciplinary translation, explainability, and...

Off the Page: A Columbia University Press PodcastDaniel K. Sodickson, "The Future of Seeing: How Imaging is Changing the World" (Columbia UP, 2025)Over the centuries, we have learned to peer into what was once invisible. Imaging devices like cameras, telescopes, microscopes, and MRI machines map the world around, beyond, and within us in ways the naked eye could never see. In so doing, these technologies have transformed our understanding of our place in the universe and our conception of our own bodies--and we may be on the cusp of an even greater revolution.
Daniel K. Sodickson--a physicist and biomedical imaging innovator--explores the rich history and surprising future of vision, from the evolution of eyes to emerging high-tech devices. Beginning...
