About The Book
"Healthcare is in crisis,” he says. “The system is broken." There’s too much emphasis on quantity instead of quality, and too many folks are on the take of big corporations. Major manufacturers and the insurance industry discourage managers from significantly improving their operation and healthcare delivery. But there are ways to change the system.

“I have the good fortune of knowing Randy Jones for over twenty years, through our shared interest in optimizing MRI for the care of men with prostate cancer. Over all these years, Randy has deeply impressed me with his unflagging enthusiasm, innovation, and knowledge. His passion for advancing medical care continues to drive him forward as he pushes the envelope of imaging technology, building on his unique blend of training, experience, and entrepreneurship.”

“I’ve known Randy as a friend, a patient-advocate, and, yes-as a nerdy physicist. His ingenuity and eye for the future are only matched by his unflagging support for the health of humanity. This book gives us a glimpse of how empathy and technology can collide for the good of us all.”

“It’s rare to meet such a driven and talented inventor and entrepreneur like Randy Jones. I’ve had the great pleasure of working with him in my role as CMO of BOT Image. His ability to balance the competing demands of scientific development and running a successful business is unlike any I’ve seen before. And to top it off, he’s as engaging as any of the visionaries in Silicon Valley—a true renaissance man! I have zero doubt that everyone will enjoy and benefit from this book.”

“We have been friends for years, so when my PSA scores became elevated and doctors started talking about surgical procedures, I knew I had to turn to someone that I could honestly trust. That was my friend who I have admired for years regarding his intelligence and rational thinking. I am not sure if other MRI scans would have detected the prostate cancer lesion or not, but I knew for certain that he would give me the best advice on where to go next. I cannot thank him enough for his wisdom and compassion.”

“Looking forward to an interesting read. Dr. Jones has been part of the development of MRI as both a scientist and an entrepreneur and has been successful in both roles.”

“In this wonderful book, Randy Jones articulates a story of success. It’s a triumph of creativity, science, and entrepreneurship. This prostate cancer survivor is a non-conformist that responds to challenges with inspiring thought, candor, and conviction. Through artificial intelligence, Jones has been able to identify lesions in a way the world has yet to see and I’m confident the medical field will endorse. A great educational read from a brave American spirit.”

“The problem with most translational science is that you seldom get good feedback between the scientist and the end user. By being relentless, actively working on both ends of the process without the middlemen and learning from failures, he has achieved what no one else can. Physicians are trained to understand a complex system and work within it. Randy reimagines the system itself. The Elon Musk of modern MRI development.”
