The purpose of this article is to expand on the economic concepts of creative destruction and disruptive innovation to imagine scenarios in which diagnostic imaging modalities and certain imaging paradigms can be rendered obsolete. Potential disrupters of imaging are novel drugs, clinical trials, accurate biomarkers, and government regulations. A taxonomic schema can be used to better predict the decline of certain imaging modalities.
