Over the three years of the project, the DATAETHICS Consortium has developed a novel Open Education Resources (OER) in the form of an online training package comprising four comprehensive courses. The e-courses represent a significant knowledge repository addressing ethical, legal, and societal dimensions in the collection and management of Biomedical Big Data (BBD). This resource […]

I am delighted to report that my ERC Consolidator Grant on Inclusive Artificial Intelligence for Accessible Medical Imaging Across Resource-Limited Settings (AIMIX) started on 01 January 2023. For the kick off meeting, my team and I met amazing and inspiring healthcare workers and researchers in Kenya. We also visited local clinical centres in rural Kenya, […]

The BCN-AIM lab is leading the European project DataTools4Heart (DT4H), funded with 7.7 million euros, which will work on a platform to be used by several hospitals in Europe. These healthcare centers will share clinical data on the platform and will therefore improve their cardiology care.  This platform will harmonise, standardise and organise health data […]

RadioVal, coordinated by the University of Barcelona – Faculty of Mathematics & Computer Science is the first major multi-centre, multi-continental and multi-disciplinary project to clinically validate an artificial intelligence solution for the prediction of patient-specific response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer, in eight clinical centers across Europe, South America, North Africa and Eurasia. With […]

As part of  EuCanImage project, the BCN-AIM team recently released stable version 1.0.0 of the medigan python library. Using pretrained generators, the library allows to quickly genrate synthetic data that can be used in experiments. Below is a simple example that generates a dataset of e.g. 1000 synthetic polyp images with segmentation marks: Step 1: […]

  Karim Lekadir, Director of BCN-AIM, Ramon y Cajal researcher at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the UB, received 2.2 million euros to conduct the research study Inclusive Artificial Intelligence for Accessible Medical Imaging Across Resource-Limited Settings (AIMIX). “The aim of the project is to study how artificial intelligence can adjust to […]

CMR radiomics reveal significant age and gender differences in hear shape and texture features Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) radiomics, an innovative image analysis tool developed as part of euCanSHare, detected significant differences in the tissue architecture (i.e., shape and texture) of male and female hearts, according to a new study conducted – among others – […]
