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

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)."
