Just as the viewer does the artwork as much as the artist, the perception and understanding of medical images make the value of the examination by its competent and reasonable use.
VISION is not only a new medical journal. We want VISION to be both a source of knowledge, a forum for reflection on our practices, but also an opening on the future of our subjects.

"Being blind is having sight but no vision."
Hellen Keller

we will do our own of this maxim of Helen Keller...

Images are part our daily lives, and whether we are rejoicing or deploring this, they often take precedence over the text that accompany them. Who would read a reference book or a clinical study of prenatal diagnosis or gynecology which wouldn’t present a convincing iconography?

Many major medical journals have taken the plunge by offering enriched online content and for those who have kept a printed presentation, it is often only an abstract. The composition of VISION will allow everyone to feed his general interest as his sharpest affinities, compose his thesaurus and exchange with the authors.

Ultrasound has not only become an extension of the clinical gesture but is also the alphabet of our practices. However, our literacy needs to be enriched by new imaging modalities as well as those used in biology, genetics and immunology. Medical images intelligence is the decade’s stake. This images’ intelligence is essential to give them the value of a phenotype, for their integration into algorithms decisions, but also to play their role in a medical metadata economy. Metadata are the key to a precision medicine. Imaging has hit this door for 20 years now, from screening for fetal aneuploidies by nuchal translucency to screening for preeclampsia and ovarian tumors.

These progresses have been made thanks to an imagery dependent on the quality of the operators, which is as much a performance as a brake on its development. The health of an individual is largely determined by his first two years of life which begins, all ideology aside, on the day of its conception. The conditions of "normal" development are still largely unknown and are conceived in an environmental and nutritional context in a broad sense. The obsolescence of the health book is close and the personal medical file will begin with the conditions of intrauterine life. Prenatal imaging, as well as many biomarkers, define the unique phenotype of an individual. This will make possible to plan the health path and, if necessary, the care one best suited to each individual.

Promotion of health or transhumanism, the future and VISION will tell us...
