RSNA announces 2-day course on AI in Paris

RSNA announced this week that it will be offering a new Spotlight Course focused on artificial intelligence (AI) September 23-24 at the Espace Saint-Martin in Paris.

The course, called “Practical Applications of Artificial Intelligence,” will focus on how radiologists can apply AI to their “everyday workflows and processes” to improve patient care. Another key topic will be the future of AI, and how it can help, not replace, radiologists.

“The interest for such education is global, and RSNA is delighted to be able to help fill this profound need through a Spotlight course in Paris dedicated to AI,” Umar Mahmood, MD, PhD, RSNA board liaison for international affairs, said in a prepared statement. “The two-day course, given by experts in the AI and radiology fields, allows attendees to gain a broad perspective from an introduction to advanced topics, developed by a highly trusted source in radiology education.”

The course will be presented in English. More information is available on the RSNA website.
