For more than 2 decades, translational medicine has accelerated basic science discovery into clinical application using a bench-to-bedside framework. Given that climate change represents the single greatest health threat facing humanity, the authors propose extending this framework to now include the bedside to the biosphere. Several potential opportunities in clinical operations, research, and advocacy associated with the use of this framework are provided. In addition, we propose that technology assessment studies of diagnostic imaging measure planetary outcomes alongside patient outcomes.
