If you have just had an MRI of the breast or knee, a CT scan of the thyroid cartilage or kidney, or an ultrasound of the liver, your radiologist may ask for your consent to keep your X-ray. Indeed, under the very first “ data challenge “, organized by the French Society of Radiology, these images are of great value.
This event aims to bring together teams of professionals to design algorithms forartificial intelligence that can answer a clinical question such as detection and characterization of liver damage on a kidney CT scan. The goal is to better diagnose diseases, and predict the best treatments. All the images accumulated will obviously be used exclusively for the challenge and the algorithms developed must be made public.
Radiologists, students and researchers will work together
Each team will be made up of radiologists, engineering students with skills in artificial intelligence, researchers working in the field of health and industrialists. This challenge will run until October, when it will end with the French Radiology Days (JFR), from October 12 to 15. The best teams will then receive prizes for their work.
