Can AI help radiologists train more effectively and even pass their exams? This session explores the growing range of AI tools available to trainees, from chatbots and vibe coding to interactive question banks. Discover how these technologies are being used to support learning, enhance exam preparation, and personalise training experiences.
Medical AI is entering a new era where clinical and domain experts, rather than just engineers, are leading innovation with advanced AI tools. This presentation focuses on these tools that empower clinicians and radiologists. One notable example is vibe coding, a method that translates natural language into functional analytical pipelines, allowing clinicians and researchers to easily create and deploy medical imaging solutions. Additionally, tools like MONAI, a robust open-source framework, streamline the use of existing AI models and support the development of new ones for medical imaging analysis. This acceleration enhances imaging pipelines for segmentation, registration, and analysis in clinical settings. As advancements continue, new patient-specific models are emerging that combine imaging-derived biomarkers with disease trajectory modelling. This allows for more personalised and interpretable diagnoses and prognoses at scale. Together, the development of these AI tools reduces barriers, effectively bridging the gap between AI research and real-world clinical applications.
This session will examine the practical integration of artificial intelligence into radiology training and assessment. Using RadBytes as a case study, it will demonstrate how AI tutoring can deliver real time structured feedback to support learner development. This talk will focus on real world implementation, benefits, limitations, and lessons learned, and consider how AI tools can enhance training while maintaining clinical standards and professional judgement.

Explore the role of AI in transforming clinical leadership. Learn how AI tools can empower healthcare leaders to make better decisions and improve patient outcomes as well as potentially avoid staff burnout, maintain retention, and improve efficiencies across healthcare pathways.
Ophthalmology is among the most technology-driven of the all the medical specialties, with treatments utilizing high-spec medical lasers and advanced microsurgical techniques, and diagnostics involving ultra-high resolution imaging. Ophthalmology is also at the forefront of many trailblazing research areas in healthcare, such as stem cell therapy, gene therapy, and - most recently - artificial intelligence. In July 2016, Moorfields Eye Hospital announced a formal collaboration with the world’s leading artificial intelligence company, DeepMind. This collaboration involves the sharing of >1,000,000 anonymised retinal scans with DeepMind to allow for the automated diagnosis of diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). As a result of this collaboration, Moorfields received funding from the UK government to create INSIGHT, the Health Data Research Hub for Eye Health. INSIGHT is a Cloud-based data pipeline at Moorfields and our partner University Hospitals Birmingham. At Moorfields alone, INSIGHT consists of >35 million ophthalmic images paired with clinical metadata, making it the world’s largest ophthalmic imaging bioresource. In my presentation I will provide an overview of INSIGHT, share our learnings with regard to data governance and patient/public involvement, and describe our plans to use this resource to help create breakthroughs in ophthalmology on a global scale.
The promises in efficiency, efficacy and safety that AI brings can only materialise with customised education, robust governance and transformational leadership. While efforts have started towards the first two attributes of successful AI integration, leadership remains largely unexplored. This presentation will explore how and why medical imagers should lead and support AI implementation in Radiology and Radiography.
Level 3, Exhibition - Fleming, Whittle and Britten
The integration of imaging data with other data sources is an incredibly fast moving space, driven by the expansion of foundation models for healthcare data and powerful large language models. In this session we will hear an update from research and commercial domains on what is state of the art for multimodal data processing with AI.
Level 3, Exhibition Hall - Fleming, Whittle and Britten
Patient’s understanding of AI and its role is constantly evolving as we encounter it in different aspects of our life. In this session we'll focus our understanding on who is the intended beneficiary of AI technology, and what outcomes do we hope to achieve. We bring in perspectives from global cancer control to the ethical considerations of AI.
AI is fast influencing everyday life, including patient healthcare. Yet there is limited understanding of AI - what it is, how it works and what it brings. Patients' expectations of healthcare and clinicians are discussed and potential positive and negative impacts of AI are considered, including the impact on clinician to patient communication.

Level 3, Exhibition Hall - Fleming, Whittle and Britten
Discover how AI can streamline complex clinical pathways, from image analysis to data integration, enabling more efficient multidisciplinary working and freeing clinicians to focus on patient-centred decisions.
The integration of artificial intelligence into cancer care is rapidly transforming the field of oncology, offering opportunities to enhance patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency through improved diagnostics, personalized treatments, and effective resource management. Current research in AI applications in oncology focuses on several key areas including digital pathology, medical imaging, analysis of complex multi-omics data, biomarker development, optimization of radiotherapy treatment planning, drug discovery, and predictive modeling of patient outcomes. These breakthroughs pave the way for precision oncology enabling the individualization of treatment plans tailored to specific patient and tumor characteristics. Nonetheless, despite these promising developments, challenges remain in the integration of AI into daily practice. Data bias and the interpretability of AI models are crucial factors for clinical adoption. Ethical considerations surrounding patient privacy, data security, and liability issues also warrant careful attention. To fully realize the potential of AI in cancer care, close collaboration among oncologists, specialists in other medical disciplines, data scientists, and policymakers is essential for establishing robust frameworks for implementation. This talk will review current advances in AI applications in oncology alongside the challenges that lie ahead.
