AIMed conference in artificial intelligence in radiology, medical imaging.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into medicine has by far been the hottest topic at nearly all medical conferences for radiology, cardiology and several other subspecialties over the past two years. This has led to the creation of an organization AIMed to help spearhead collaboration and dissemination of information on AI developments to speed its adoption.
