Nowadays, medical imaging technologies play a key role to face the ever-growing number of challenges due to aging populations, as they are the essential clinical tool to deliver accurate initial diagnosis and monitor the evolution of disease over time. For this reason, a whole range of new imaging modalities is currently being developed to supplement and support current modalities. This communication introduces the recently started EMERALD - ElectroMagnetic imaging for a novel genERation of medicAL Devices project, which is a European network of nested doctoral projects pursuing the development innovative medical imaging devices based on electromagnetic technology. The original implementation of the network structure and the highly focused nature of each project is such that the global resultant of this European research effort may provide a systemic answer to some emerging clinical needs.
