About the webinar series

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize healthcare, its potential to enhance patient safety and improve radiation protection practices is becoming increasingly evident.

This webinar series aims to explore how AI-driven tools and technologies can support and advance the safe and effective use of radiation in medical settings. Tailored for a broad audience of healthcare professionals — including clinicians, radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, technologists, medical physicists, hospital administrators and regulators — each session will feature expert led presentations followed by a live discussion. Participants can deepen their understanding and exchange ideas with leading professionals in the field.

The series consists of seven one hour sessions designed to provide concrete insights and practical knowledge on the intersection of AI and radiation protection.

This second session will focus on the basic components of AI technology. It will introduce key concepts, including the architecture of AI systems, the types and handling of data used in AI applications, and the core AI tasks relevant to enhancing patient safety. This session aims to provide a solid technical foundation for understanding how these tools can be effectively applied in clinical settings.

Learning objectives:

1. Explore the basic architecture and model types commonly used in AI applications for radiation protection.
2. Gain knowledge of the role and characteristics of data used in the development and deployment of AI tools in medical radiation contexts.
3. Explore fundamental AI tasks and their relevance to improving radiation protection and safety of patients.
