Seminar Title: Deep Learning in Medical Imaging-Opportunities and Challenges

Date: September 27

Time: 4-5 pm

Location: SMPH/HSLC Room 1345

Abstract: Deep learning, facilitated by advances in hardware, software and algorithms, has emerged as a leading technology in computer vision and image analysis and is being applied to medical imaging with early successes in radiology, oncology, ophthalmology, pathology and others domains. In this talk, I will discuss recent applications of deep learning to specific clinical problems in these domains. We will then discuss some of the gaps and challenges with current deep learning techniques and suggest topics for further research. Finally, we will touch upon the translational aspects of these technologies.
