PROFESSOR BRAM VAN GINNEKEN
RADBOUD UMC – DIAGNOSTIC IMAGE ANALYSIS GROUP
Interpreting Medical Images: Humans versus Computers
The first attempts to let computers make diagnosis based on medical image date back half a century. In this talk I will show various approaches to computer-aided diagnosis, discuss the potential for computers to outperform humanreaders in various tasks, and present recent advances based on convolution neural networks.
Bram van Ginneken is Professor of Functional Image Analysis at Radboud University Medical Center and co-chair of the Diagnostic Image Analysis Group within the Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine. He also works for Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen, Germany, and is one of the founders of Thirona, a company that provides quantitative analysis of chest CTscans. Bram studied Physics at the Eindhoven University of Technology and at the Utrecht University, where he obtained his Ph.D. at the Image Sciences Institute (ISI) on Computer-Aided Diagnosis in Chest Radiography.
