JSPS - Academy of Medical Sciences Collaborative Symposium: Medical Imaging and Artificial Intelligence

Academic

Date: Tuesday 23rd Janaury 2018

Symposium: 09:00 - 16:00, The Academy of Medical Sciences, London

Reception: 18:00 - 20:00, The Embassy of Japan in the UK, London

This one-day symposium was jointly organised by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and the Academy of Medical Sciences.

The aim of the meeting was to bring together leading experts from Japan and the UK to discuss the current research landscape of medical imaging and the contributions of artificial intelligence to this field. The meeting also provided an opportunity to reflect on the regulatory and ethical considerations needed to support the effective and impactful adoption of such technologies.

The symposium was followed by a reception to discuss funding opportunities and ways to facilitate greater contact and collaboration between the UK and Japan. We are very grateful to the Japanese Embassy for hosting this reception.
