Phillip Dimitrov is currently 24 years old. The kidney keeping him alive is 58. Diagnosed with Alport syndrome as a child, he had no symptoms most of his life. Everything changed in his mid-twenties and he suddenly needed a kidney transplant.

Thanks to the selfless gift of his father, the expertise of Dr. Alp Sener and the exceptional care of London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC)'s transplant team, Phillip received a life-saving kidney on October 15, 2025. Today, he is doing well and grateful for his second chance at life.

In the future of health care, seeing may no longer be simply believing. It may be predicting, preventing or even preempting. Imaging has always been one of medicine’s most powerful tools. But the next frontier isn’t sharper resolution alone; it’s giving machines the ability to recognize patterns, anticipate problems and support decisions in ways that were once purely human. Instead of capturing what’s already there, future imaging technologies may help us see what’s coming.

Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) brings something rare to emergency medicine: immediate clarity. In a department where time and information are often scarce, POCUS delivers real-time answers when patients need them most. Whether it’s determining if a patient in cardiac arrest is responding to CPR, checking for internal bleeding in trauma or ruling out fluid buildup in the lungs of someone in heart failure, POCUS is diagnostic speed in the palm of one’s hand. Thanks to donor support, these machines are helping shape the future of hands-on, high-impact medicine.
