2020 IBIIS & AIMI Virtual Retreat

Tuesday, October 13, 2020 – 9:00am - 3:00pm

AI for Medical Imaging: Challenges and Solutions

AI is making in-roads into many facets of healthcare. Among them, medical imaging has seen some of the most impressive progress recently. NVIDIA Clara provides a comprehensive platform for AI-assisted annotations in many modalities, including CT, MRI, x-ray, and ultrasound. It also supports efficient AI training on GPUs including privacy-preserving federated learning and transfer learning. I will also talk about our recent work on recognizing gestures in robotic surgery videos using deep learning. Finally, I will present some core machine-learning techniques that will be essential to make AI-based medical imaging accurate and trustworthy.
