(2024) Machine Learning for Medical Imaging Analysis: Pixels to Predictions: Toronto, ON
Date: 19 - 20 September 2024
Medical image analysis holds immense value in modern healthcare, offering potential to revolutionize diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient care. By leveraging advanced technologies such as machine learning and computer vision, medical image analysis allows for precise and efficient interpretation of complex visual data from various imaging modalities like X-rays, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Computed Tomography scan (CT) scans. Dive into the dynamic realm of medical image analysis with our introductory 2-day course, tailored to match the rapid pace of both the field and its foundational technology—computing. Structured to be practical and contemporary, the course takes a ‘hands-on’ approach, guiding participants from introductory imaging concepts through the development of compact machine learning pipelines for inference. By the workshop’s conclusion, attendees will not only have acquired a nuanced understanding of medical imaging intricacies but will also possess the requisite tools for autonomous image analysis. Furthermore, participants will be introduced to key publicly-available resources, ensuring they depart with a valuable skill set poised to contribute to advancements in this crucial field.
