4th Meeting of the 204th Session (2024-2025)
Professor Michelle Williams
On Monday 27th January 2025, at 7pm
Imaging of the heart, including scans and x-rays, has transformed modern medicine by helping us to understand disease and monitor treatments. Artificial intelligence (also called machine learning) has great potential to improving imaging research and patient care. This talk will discuss what artificial intelligence is and how it is being used in imaging research at the University of Edinburgh. However, there are also challenges to the use of artificial intelligence techniques. We will explore the issues and ethical considerations around integrating artificial intelligence into cardiac imaging.
