A total of 11 cutting-edge scientific studies will be presented at the 2024 SPIE Medical Imaging conference by researchers from the Center of Virtual Imaging Trials (CVIT) and RAILabs. SPIE Medical Imaging conference, this year co-chaired by our TRD3 leader Dr. Joseph Lo, is scheduled to take place from February 18-22 in San Diego, CA. Experts and researchers from CVIT and RAILabs will unveil their contributions across diverse research areas and modalities solidifying the commitment of these institutions to advancing the field of medical imaging.
The array of presentations will encompass topics ranging from the clinical evaluation of automated exposure control systems in radiography to breakthroughs in photon counting CT technology. Additionally, attendees can anticipate insights from virtual imaging trial studies and the optimization of contrast media administration, showcasing the multifaceted expertise of these institutions. Finally, noteworthy is the presence of plenary speaker Cynthia Rudin from the Interpretable Machine Learning Lab at Duke, who will share insights into interpretable deep learning in medical imaging.
