Keynote webinar | Spotlight on sleep in brain health

LIVE: Thursday 2nd May 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

Quality sleep is essential for health. But what happens to our brains when sleep patterns are disturbed? Join our experts to explore the interplay between sleep disruption and neurological diseases, and the questions that you need to be asking your patients to help you prevent the harmful effects of sleep deprivation.

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad and complicated concept that has begun to affect many areas of medicine, perhaps none so much as radiology. While pediatric radiology has been less affected than other radiology subspecialties, there are some well-developed and some nascent applications within the field. This review focuses on the use of AI within pediatric radiology for image interpretation, with descriptive summaries of the literature to date. We highlight common features that enable successful application of the technology, along with some of the limitations that can inhibit the development of this field. We present some ideas for further research in this area and challenges that must be overcome, with an understanding that technology often advances in unpredictable ways.
