ESSO Course on AI in Healthcare - Hands on Workshop for Surgeons and Radiologists

Aims of the course
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the world. Medicine is no exception, and several AI applications can already be used today to help both patients and clinicians. In this workshop, physicians will learn several aspects of AI, how to train AI models for various use cases, and use their domain-specific knowledge to create advanced applications to solve their day-to-day problems improving their efficiency and patient care. Real- world medical data comprising images, text reports, and clinical databases will be used during the workshop.

The objectives of this workshop are to
- Understand the different types of AI models;
- Understand the types of tasks that AI models can perform;
- Present several success stories of AI in Medicine;
- Discuss common mistakes and the importance of domain-specific knowledge;
- Introduce participants to Python, Jupyter, and Google Colab;
- Know publicly available datasets;
- Learn to create use AI to analyze medical images in regression, classification, and segmentation use cases;
- Learn to create 3D digital patient/organ-specific models for surgical planning.
