The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Taskforce was established at the IPR congress 2021, Rome/IT.
This taskforce was created by popular demand from feedback via an international survey of paediatric radiology healthcare professionals.
Our aims and values are reflected by the important themes voted for by our members.
These aims include:
- Offer educational content relevant for paediatric radiologists
- Brainstorm ideas for future AI projects useful to paediatric radiologists
- Collaborate on AI studies/anonymised datasets/labelling
- Maintain contact and collaboration with other societies that also deal with artificial intelligence in (paediatric) radiology such as:
- ESR – European Society of Radiology
- EUSoMII – European Society of Medical Imaging Informatics
- SIIM – Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine
- SPR – Society of Paediatric Radiology
