2019 Symposium

ABOUT THE SYMPOSIUM

Read the symposium recap from Johns Hopkins Medicine

 

The confluence of the increasing digitization of healthcare, rapid advances in machine learning, and the push for value-driven healthcare have focused attention on the potential for AI to transform healthcare,  similar to what we see in other information-driven elements of the economy. However, those in the practice of medicine know that the path to creating meaningful change at the bedside using AI technologies is far from simple.

The goal of this symposium is to bring together institutional leaders, researchers, and clinicians to catalyze a multi-disciplinary conversation on the true potential for AI in healthcare and what is necessary to bring AI technologies from “the bench to the bedside.” In doing so, we hope to gain perspectives from leaders from around the country and identify a roadmap for putting AI to work to improve the quality of care for patients and providers alike.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Maryellen Giger, PhD

Maryellen Giger

Bringing AI in Breast Cancer Imaging from the Bench to the Bedside”

Maryellen Giger, Ph.D. is the A.N. Pritzker Professor of Radiology  and Medical Physics at the University of Chicago.  She has been working, for multiple decades, on computer-aided diagnosis/machine learning/deep learning in medical imaging and cancer diagnosis/management.  Her AI research in breast cancer for risk assessment, diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic response has yielded various translated components, and she is using these “virtual biopsies” in imaging-genomics association studies.

Giger is a former president of AAPM and of SPIE; and is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Medical Imaging.  She is a member of the NAE; Fellow of AAPM, AIMBE, SPIE, SBMR, IEEE, IAMBE; and was cofounder, equity holder, and scientific advisor of Quantitative Insights [now Qlarity Imaging], which produces QuantX, the first FDA-cleared, machine-learning driven CADx system.
