Catching up re earlier #ASMIRT2023 session from @CMalamateniou on: Artificial Intelligence is changing
radiography: What should we do? (Pic: ASMIRT)
"AI is just another tool we need to use effectively & responsibly to solve real clinical problems; radiographers are frontrunners in this race, together with all other profs working in medical imaging, radiotherapy & nuclear medicine." @CMalamateniou told Croakey #ASMIRT2023
"AI is only as clever & equitable as the data we feed it with; because of the way it works, it has massive scalability & the potential to revolutionise medicine and radiography; it can also create massive problems if we fail to use it right." @CMalamateniou#ASMIRT2023
"So we have to be careful, follow robust governance & appropriate training for all to ensure safe and effective adoption.
AI will not replace people; those who know and learn about AI will replace those that don't.
. @DrGeoffCurrie is chair of the nuclear medicine program at #ASMIRT2023 - it features a number of his posters, incl with his son @CurrieHugo and daughter Josie. He tells @CroakeyNews his kids "have grown up in nuclear medicine"......
Gary Denham is a radiographer at @HNEHealth, with a number of presentations for #ASMIRT2023, incl (related to Edel Doyle previously): Beyond the skeletal survey: how modern neuroimaging is revealing the effects of childhood maltreatment
Denham says it's well established that childhood maltreatment/abuse is detrimental to mental health & a major risk factor for most psychiatric disorders. Can also lead to a range of behavioural problems & alter the structure/function of the developing brain #ASMIRT2023
Child maltreatment/abuse is also associated with impairments to IQ, academic achievement, working memory, emotional regulation and inhibitory control - Denham #ASMIRT2023
We're set to follow the final day of #ASMIRT2023 - national gathering of the medical radiation sciences: been a big agenda of clinical/workplace issues, also diversity/inclusion, AI, patient-centred care
Today's opening #ASMIRT2023 session will focus on forensic radiography, workplace wellness/burnout, clinical issues, education and gaps in care.
We are not attending #ASMIRT2023, but @AlisonSBarrett and I (@mariemcinerney) are tweeting via abstracts/posters/presentations/interviews, with thanks to many speakers who have shared their work with us
Interesting session coming up now #ASMIRT2023: Champions of Change, to be closed with a panel discussion on patient centred care
And just as interesting in the other plenary on application of AI (artificial intelligence), which will also end in a panel discussion - ft @DrKEHawk@DrEMRohren, Phillip Chlap, moderated by @DrGeoffCurrie#ASMIRT2023
Just noting, @AlisonSBarrett and I (@mariemcinerney) are covering #ASMIRT2023 remotely: tweeting from presentations, interviews etc, not live in the room. We are v grateful for the generosity of speakers who have shared their work with us.
Next session up at #ASMIRT2023, with a focus here on evidence based practice and research while @AlisonSBarrett will be tweeting re the stream on building a resilient & responsive workforce
On why #ASMIRT2023 is talking about the need to build an evidence base, @CMalamateniou told Croakey: "Radiography is a relatively new profession, so it still builds its evidence base. ...It leans equally on technology & person-centred care. So these are the two areas of (focus)."
"Research is the basis for creating new solutions to new problems; in healthcare, research is about helping others: our patients and their carers and families...." @CMalamateniou#ASMIRT2023
