COURSE INFORMATION

Research is an integral part of our radiological practice. Whether you’re conducting your own studies or implementing research findings in your daily clinical routine, it is important to know about the fundamentals of radiological research.

This season of the Fundamentals of Radiological Research Course addresses essential topics in the clinical and research arena: statistics methodology, academic writing, continuing education and the correct use of AI. Each session is led by luminaries in the field and includes ample time for questions from the audience.

AI tools are being purchased and deployed in radiology departments across Europe. This webinar gives imaging professionals the vocabulary and criteria to participate meaningfully in procurement and adoption decisions, covering how to read a validation study critically, what questions to ask a vendor, what regulatory marks mean (CE, FDA clearance, MDR class), and what red flags to look for.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  • Critically evaluate AI validation studies and assess the evidence behind AI tools used in radiology.
  • Identify key questions to ask AI vendors and recognise potential red flags when evaluating AI solutions.
  • Understand regulatory requirements and certifications, including CE marking, FDA clearance, and MDR classifications, to support informed procurement and adoption decisions.
