100 years later…What did medical physics contribute?
Imaging advances– New imaging modalities: MRI, PET, combined
modalities– Improved imaging technologies: contrast,
resolution, noise, speed, accuracy
Treatment advances– New RT technologies: Co-60, linacs, IMRT– Surgery: Minimally invasive procedures
We can be very PROUD of these achievements!

”4 P’s of medicine”: Individuals respond differently to environmental conditions, according to their genetic endowment and their own behavior. In the future, research will allow us to predict how, when, and in whom a disease will develop. We can envision a time when we will be able to precisely target treatment on a personalized basis to those who need it, avoiding treatment to those who do not. Ultimately, this individualized approach will allow us to preempt disease before it occurs, utilizing the participationof individuals, communities, and healthcare providers in a proactive fashion, as early as possible, and throughout the natural cycle of a disease process.

• FDG PET response correctly predicts response to Gleevec in majority of patients• FDG PET response correctly predicts SD and PD, while CT does not• FDG PET response precedes the CT response (shrinkage) by several weeks• FDG PET response is strongly associated with a longer progression free survival (92% vs. 12% after 1 year) and closely correlated with subjective symptom control

Summary
Medical physics has been extremely successful, but it has “captured” only a small part of the interface between imaging and therapy – ENORMOUS POTENTIAL!!!
Future of medicine – personalized therapy - is complex, but extremely exciting, don’t wait - EXPAND HORIZONS!!!
MANY ESSENTIAL ROLES we should play beyond radiotherapy and diagnostic imaging:– Clinical trial design!– Molecular imaging chain – Advanced image analysis– Quantitative imaging– Modeling– …
