*'AI in medical imaging: from scan planning to report generation' by Dr 
Christophe Schülke from SISSA
*

_Abstract:_

__The AI boom in the last 10 years largely builds on the early success 
of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in image classification. In 
healthcare, diagnostic imaging has thus logically been one of the early 
adopters of the newly developed technologies. Beyond image 
classification for automated diagnosis, CNNs and their offsprings have 
successfully been applied to different steps of the image production 
chain such as system calibration, image reconstruction and image 
denoising. The use of AI also promises to alleviate different 
bottlenecks in the imaging workflow, with the aim of reducing 
misdiagnosis and staff workload while increasing patient throughput. 
This seminar will give an overview of some of these current and 
potential applications of AI in medical imaging. The focus will be on 
general principles and achieved benefits rather than on the technical 
aspects of deep learning.

Christophe Schülke studied physics in France and in Switzerland, where 
he first came across biomedical engineering. During his master thesis 
project, he worked on for first-pass perfusion in cardiac magnetic 
resonance imaging. Fascinated by the complex algorithms used for image 
reconstruction, he sought to get a better understanding of them by 
pursuing a PhD. There, he applied methods from statistical physics to 
study information-theoretical aspects of inverse problems.
After his PhD defense in 2016, he joined the Philips research lab in 
Hamburg. In the following years, he designed and optimized image 
reconstruction algorithms for accelerated and motion-robust MRI and CT.
He recently joined SISSA as a research fellow in the field of 
neuroscience, but remains very attached to medical imaging.
