11am – 12 pm -- AGFA Webinar Cut through the AI hype by Dr Anjum Ahmed

From AI algorithms working in isolation of your PACS, towards a seamless experience for the radiologist.

Description: In a dedicated session, Dr. Anjum M. Ahmed, Global Chief Medical Officer at Agfa HealthCare, will provide insights in how health organizations can cut through the AI hype and start benefiting from its actual application in radiology.

• Go beyond the selection of the right AI algorithms;
• Embed AI effectively into existing workflows;
• Create a strategic opportunity in radiology to improve clinical confidence and care delivery.

To achieve the benefits of a practical application of AI in radiology, Dr Ahmed will dive into the importance of an Enterprise Imaging strategy that addresses and solves some of the basic fundamental problems before you even bring AI into the mix.

Noon EDT -- How AI can help fight the COVID-19 pandemic

Dr. Shinjini Kundu, PhD, Johns Hopkins University

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has forced radiology professionals to scramble to find new tools to help deal with the outbreak. The ability of artificial intelligence (AI) to rapidly analyze large volumes of data makes it an attractive solution to detect, contain, and treat COVID-19, according to Dr. Shinjini Kundu, PhD.

3 p.m. EDT -- Changing the narrative about AI and radiologist jobs

Dr. Sonia Gupta

Is artificial intelligence (AI) really a threat to radiologists' jobs? It's a belief that's increasingly been discredited within radiology itself, but the myth continues to persist outside the field -- especially among medical students who are picking a specialty. Dr. Sonia Gupta offers solutions for changing the narrative.

10 a.m. EDT -- The challenge of integrating AI with enterprise imaging

Michael Cannavo, Image Management Consultants

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in radiology has run smack into another emerging trend -- the growth of enterprise imaging in healthcare. What's the best way to integrate these two increasingly important technologies? Medical imaging consultant Michael Cannavo offers some perspective.

11 a.m. EDT -- Scaling data management for machine learning

Travis Richardson, Flywheel

To enable improved outcomes and quality of care and to accelerate AI research, researchers need access to clinical data. However, these data are often large and complex and not ready for machine learning. Streamlining data management and collaboration is key to AI initiatives. Travis Richardson, president and chief operating officer of Flywheel, will discuss how a research-first data platform is the solution to scale clinical research, fuel innovation, and empower your researchers.

Noon EDT -- The future of AI in radiology: From research to the reading room

Dr. Curtis Langlotz, PhD, Stanford University

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an incredibly powerful tool for building algorithms that will transform the work of radiologists. Dr. Curtis Langlotz, PhD, will review the origins of AI and its applications to medical imaging, as well as show examples of real-world research that suggest how AI may change the practice of radiology. He will also review key shortcomings and challenges that may limit the application of AI to radiology.
