From September 23 to 27, the MICCAI congress took place in South Korea.
This congress is the largest international conference on AI and medical imaging. Alexandre LECLERCQ and Noémie MOREAU, PhD students at the Centre Baclesse's AI Department, presented their thesis work.
Noémie MOREAU presented, in poster format, the AI model she created based on more than 170 patients from the Center, which uses pre-treatment MRI images and clinical data to predict the survival of patients with glioblastoma.
The idea is, ultimately, to enable more personalized medicine by identifying non-responders from responders.
Alexandre LECLERCQ gave an oral presentation on his algorithm designed to use artificial intelligence to generate post-treatment MRI images based solely on pre-treatment MRI images and the radiotherapy plan.
The aim of this approach is to provide additional tools to optimize the process of preparing radiotherapy plans and thus further personalize radiotherapy treatments for brain tumors.
AI laboratory collaboration in Japan
Aurélien CORROYER-DULMONT, head of the Center's AI department, visited the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology in Japan in early October. During a conference, he presented the Centre's work on artificial intelligence applied to oncology.
The second objective was to set up a collaboration with an AI computing laboratory specializing in graphs, an area of AI not yet exploited in the Centre's research projects.
This collaboration with Prof. Makoto YAMADA's unit will also provide travel grants for doctoral and post-doctoral students from Okinawa and the Centre Baclesse.
