The Future of Surgery is “Minimally Invasive” with Roel Raatgever

A Note From Tommy

Today’s episode of Beyond the Ordinary is extra special for me. In this show, I interview my friend, Roel Raatgever, from the Netherlands.

Two weeks after our recording, Roel died in a tragic vehicle accident, just days before we were to meet in person for the first time.

We are grateful to the team at MRI Guidance and the Raatgever family for their support in sharing this episode with the world. Roel was a special man and a special friend. I am honored to capture his passion and share it with you here.

Show Notes

In today’s episode, Tommy talks with Roel Raatgever, co-founder and CEO of MRI Guidance—a company changing the landscape of medicine tech through complex 3D MRI imaging data.

Roel is a biomedical scientist and an entrepreneur. The first years of Roel’s career were focused on making medical home test kits and planning for their production and logistics with an international med-tech company. In 2008, through UtrechtInc, he started helping startups succeed.

Roel talks with Tommy about the innovation process in the medical technology field, the discovery of Bone MRI, and the impact of 3D MRI imaging data on the future of surgery.
