Medical imaging: what impact on the environment?

Medical imaging has revolutionized medical screening and diagnosis for over 40 years, improving patient health. But as MRIs and scanners are used more and more, environmental concerns are emerging. In addition to gigantic power consumption and billions of digital data to manage, the products injected during these examinations, such as gadolinium or lʹiode, can end up in wastewater, subsequently causing great damage to our environment.
