About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Sofia Rodriguez, an expert in AI applications for medical imaging and the lead instructor for the advanced course "AI in Liver Imaging". Dr. Rodriguez, it's great to have you here. GUEST: Thanks for having me, I'm excited to discuss this fascinating topic! HOST: To start, could you share a bit about your experience in AI and liver imaging? What drew you to this field? GUEST: I've been working with AI in radiology for over a decade, and the potential to improve patient care through better image analysis is what initially attracted me to this field. Liver imaging, in particular, is crucial for early detection and management of liver diseases. HOST: Absolutely, and that leads us to the course. It's designed to equip healthcare professionals with advanced skills in AI applications for liver analysis. Could you tell us what makes this course unique? GUEST: This course stands out because it focuses on practical applications of AI in liver imaging, such as image segmentation, disease detection, and quantitative analysis. Participants will learn how to use cutting-edge AI algorithms to analyze CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasound images. HOST: That sounds incredibly useful for medical imaging professionals, radiologists, and hepatologists. What current trends or challenges are you seeing in the industry that make this course especially relevant? GUEST: There's a growing demand for AI-powered diagnostic tools in healthcare, and liver imaging is no exception. However, many healthcare professionals lack the necessary skills to leverage these technologies effectively. Our course bridges that gap by providing hands-on training in deep learning and machine learning concepts tailored to liver imaging analysis. HOST: It's clear that AI has the potential to revolutionize liver imaging, but there must be challenges in implementing these new technologies. What do you see as the main obstacles, and how does the course address them? GUEST: A major challenge is the need for large, annotated datasets to train AI models. The course addresses this by teaching participants how to create and use synthetic datasets for AI model training. Additionally, understanding how to interpret AI-generated results is crucial for accurate diagnosis, and we dedicate time to this in the course. HOST: That's really interesting. Lastly, where do you see the future of AI in liver imaging? How will this course help participants stay at the forefront of the field? GUEST: AI will undoubtedly play an increasingly important role in liver imaging, enabling earlier detection of diseases and personalized treatment plans. By completing this course, participants will be well-equipped with the latest AI techniques and tools to improve diagnostic accuracy and positively impact patient care. HOST: Dr. Sofia Rodriguez, thank you so much for joining us today and sharing your insights on the "AI in Liver Imaging" advanced certificate program. It's been a pleasure talking with you! GUEST: Thank you for having me! It was a pleasure discussing this exciting topic with you.
