Webinar on Medical Imaging Research in Africa (MIRA)
The MIDL Young Researcher Board is proud to host a webinar on Medical Imaging Research in Africa.
The development of machine learning methods and applications for medical imaging has evolved over the years. However, most developments have been targeted to high-income settings, limiting the advancement of healthcare solutions in low-to-middle-income countries. To bridge this gap, it is important to raise awareness to promote the development of accessible machine learning solutions for healthcare in low to middle income countries.
The Young Researcher Board is organizing a webinar on medical imaging research in Africa, featuring keynotes by Dr. Udunna Anazodo, Consortium Chair for CAMERA (Consortium for Advancement of MRI Education Research in Africa), and Dr. Karim Lekadir, General Chair of MICCAI Conference 2024, hosted in Africa. The invited talks will be followed by a panel discussion. The event will highlight current research practices, ongoing initiatives, and the challenges faced by researchers in the region.
The webinar will take place on 29 April 2025 as a virtual Zoom event. The event will be free of charge. However, a mandatory registration is necessary and Zoom links will be sent out after registration.
