“The Future of Seeing” by Dr. Daniel Sodickson: How Imaging Is Transforming Medicine, Science and Society

Meet Dr. Daniel Sodickson – Chief of Innovation in Radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and an Expert at LDV Capital. In his book, “The Future of Seeing: How Imaging Is Changing Our World”, he traces humanity’s long quest to illuminate the invisible – from the first biological eyes that evolved in Earth’s ancient oceans to the telescopes, microscopes and MRI machines that map worlds beyond the reach of natural vision. Blending history, science and imagination, he reveals how imaging has reshaped medicine, altered economies and reframed our understanding of privacy and identity. Now, on the brink of an AI-driven revolution, Dr. Sodickson invites us to consider a future in which technology emulates not just our sight, but our very minds – changing how we see the world, each other and ourselves. Dan’s vision aligns with our fund’s thesis dating back to 2012.
