The Wizardry of AI and Machine Learning in Cancer Imaging

Postponed until 2021 due to the Pandemic. More news to follow.

Champalimaud Foundation, Lisbon, Portugal

This joint initiative is presented by Champalimaud Foundation and the International Cancer Imaging Society.

A special focus multidisciplinary meeting on the development and application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in Cancer Imaging.

Cancer Imaging is the official journal of ICIS, it is an open access, peer-reviewed journal with original articles as well as reviews and editorials. The journal encompasses CT, MRI, ultrasound, single photon and positron emission tomography, including multimodality imaging in all kinds of malignant tumours, plus new developments, techniques and innovations.

Deep learning outperforms standard machine learning in biomedical research applications

Published: Thu, 14 Jan 2021 13:01:25 EST

Compared to standard machine learning models, deep learning models are largely superior at discerning patterns and discriminative features in brain imaging, despite being more complex in their architecture.

Imaging technique proves effective in measuring mitochondrial dysfunction in motor neuron disease (MND)

Published: Wed, 13 Jan 2021 19:31:02 EST

Non-invasive imaging technique called 31-phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy used to measure mitochondrial function in patients with motor neuron disease (MND)

MRI frequently underestimates tumor size in prostate cancer

Published: Thu, 07 Jan 2021 13:56:55 EST

Improving imaging processes will lead to more successful treatments and help reduce morbidity in men with the disease.

'Virtual biopsies' could replace tissue biopsies in future thanks to new technique

Published: Wed, 06 Jan 2021 09:53:14 EST

A new advanced computing technique using routine medical scans to enable doctors to take fewer, more accurate tumor biopsies, has been developed by cancer researchers. This is an important step towards precision tissue sampling for cancer patients to help select the best treatment. In future the technique could even replace clinical biopsies with 'virtual biopsies', sparing patients invasive procedures.

Routine eye scans may give clues to cognitive decline in diabetes

Published: Tue, 05 Jan 2021 13:57:05 EST

As they age, people with diabetes are more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease and other cognitive disorders than are people without diabetes. Scientists now have shown that routine eye imaging can identify changes in the retina that may be associated with cognitive disorders in older people with type 1 diabetes. These results may open up a relatively easy method for early detection of cognitive decline in this population.

Viewing upper gastrointestinal cancers in a new light

Published: Tue, 05 Jan 2021 09:56:26 EST

Researchers report the use of Linked Color Imaging, an innovative modality that specifically combines selected wavelengths of light for illumination in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. This method, by enhancing the subtle variations in red and white hues that indicate mucosal transformation, greatly improves the early detection of upper gastrointestinal tract neoplasms as compared with conventional white light illumination.

New imaging method reveals if antibiotics reach bacteria hiding in tissues

Published: Tue, 05 Jan 2021 09:56:06 EST

Researchers have developed a new imaging method to see where antibiotics have reached bacteria within tissues. The method could be used to help develop more effective antibiotic treatments, reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance.

Imaging of ballistic wounds, bullet composition and implications for MRI safety

Published: Tue, 29 Dec 2020 17:55:15 EST

Since patients with ballistic embedded fragments are frequently denied MRI (due to indeterminate bullet composition sans shell casings), radiography and CT can be used to identify nonferromagnetic projectiles that are safe for MRI.

Brain imaging predicts PTSD after brain injury

Published: Tue, 29 Dec 2020 08:02:48 EST

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a complex psychiatric disorder brought on by physical and/or psychological trauma. How its symptoms, including anxiety, depression and cognitive disturbances arise remains incompletely understood and unpredictable. Treatments and outcomes could potentially be improved if doctors could better predict who would develop PTSD. Now, researchers using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have found potential brain biomarkers of PTSD in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI).

Bio-inspired endoscope provides 3D visible and near-infrared images simultaneously

Published: Tue, 22 Dec 2020 13:20:02 EST

Researchers have developed a new bio-inspired medical endoscope that can acquire 3D visible light and near-infrared fluorescence images at the same time. It features an optical design that combines the high-resolution 3D imaging of human vision with the mantis shrimp's capability to simultaneously detect multiple wavelengths of light.

Testimonials

I attended the ICIS Conference for the first time 2 years ago in Germany, I was impressed by the high quality presentations and posters, excellent organization of the conference and great venue. Speaking of venues, hard to beat last year’s conference held at The British Museum! The workshops were a great additional learning opportunity, where I could hear from the best experts in the world about their way of thinking and interpretation of cancer imaging. It was like opening the doors into the different radiology departments across the world and seeing what was happening there. It felt natural, as everybody was very open and positive, creating a less formal atmosphere than you would expect from such a high level conference. I also absolutely loved the social gathering during and after the conferences with the opportunity to relax, network, get the awards, say “good bye” to new friends and colleagues and plan the next presentation at the next conference. I’m looking forward to coming back again.

LFTexas, USA

The whole course proved to cover a wide range of relevant topics to a very high standard. I would highly recommend it.

JSGlasgow, UK

A very well organised and highly educational course. It was a pleasure to learn from experts in cancer imaging from around the world and have the opportunity to meet them.

RWLondon, UK

I would like to thank all the Faculty for the superb lectures delivered on the day and Dr Koh for an exceptionally well-organised meeting. The content, pace of lectures and the discussions were all extremely useful - my knowledge has improved significantly and I have no doubt my practice and reporting skills will further improve by using the material provided.

IMCambridge, UK

I am so glad I came to ICIS. It was an excellent meeting with very interesting topics and with excellent facilities. It is always a pleasure to attend ICIS as it is an ideal meeting to interact with people from many countries and to learn about new skills in oncology imaging and novel techniques. You always choose beautiful places for ICIS and we hope to come again next year to London for another wonderful meeting.

MNArgentina

An excellent course. Essential for prostate reporting.

CDGateshead, UK

A really enjoyable, informative and fun three days in a beautiful town.

KPRoyal Surrey Hospital, Guildford, UK

As a Radiologist who focuses on Cancer Imaging, I find ICIS courses and meetings extremely useful and stimulating. Not only do I get to meet the doyens in the field, the courses and meetings are so rich in state of art technology and new developments in the field of cancer imaging. There is no other imaging conference, that gives me so much value for the time.
