Genomics and associated technologies are changing the field of clinical diagnosis. Infectious diseases can be diagnosed rapidly and accurately using array technologies. Cancers can potentially be diagnosed early by detecting specific biomarkers in blood. Metabolomics can be used to evaluate overall health status and to establish a personal baseline for any potential changes that may occur later when disease arises. With significant advancements in various imaging modalities and the promise of even more advanced diagnostics in the future, the field appears unlimited. Learn the amazing technologies that are bringing diagnoses into the 21st century, the challenges to their development, and what it takes to get the new technologies into practice.
