UCSF Conference Showcases Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Novel Imaging Methods!
Last week, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) held an exciting conference to explore the latest breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) and novel imaging methods. The event, organized by the Center for Intelligent Imaging (ci2) and the Hyperpolarized MRI Technology Resource Center (HMTRC), brought together researchers from UCSF and the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel for an intense three days of collaboration.
Renowned speakers took the stage to share their expertise and insights. Chair of the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF, Christopher Hess, kicked off the second day with an inspiring talk on “Pushing Imaging AI Across the Finish Line.” Keynote speakers Akshay Chaudhary and Mirabela Rusu from Stanford University captivated the audience with their talks on data-efficient deep learning in radiology and bridging the gap between real-time ultrasound and pathology images using AI methods for prostate cancer detection, respectively.
Attendees were also treated to informative presentations by experts in the field. Dan Vigneron, Director of HMTRC, discussed hyperpolarized C13 imaging, while Jane Wang provided an update on the clinical translation of hyperpolarized 13C MRI. Other topics included integrating C13 in prostate and liver studies, pre-clinical HP C13 at UCSF, deep learning assessments of prostate and kidney cancer imaging, and the use of AI in mid-field MRI advancements.
The conference concluded with a brainstorming session on potential research collaborations and the future of medical and AI research. Attendees explored the exciting possibilities of augmented reality for teaching and visualizing complex AI-generated data, drawing comparisons to popular games like Pokémon Go.
This conference was undoubtedly a remarkable opportunity for researchers to connect and pave the way for groundbreaking advancements in AI and imaging technology. The efforts to foster future research and cooperation between UCSF and the Christian-Albrechts-University of Kiel are sure to yield incredible results.
