On 10 June 2024 we welcomed 34 participants from 19 countries to a free specialised EuCanImage Workshop in Rotterdam, Netherlands, ahead of the EACR 2024 Congress.
EuCanImage is a 4-year research project building a European cancer imaging platform that will enhance the potential of artificial intelligence in oncology.
“Good organisation that made it easy to follow both the theory and practical parts”
The workshop, ‘Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in Multi-Country Cancer Imaging’, provided participants with hands-on experience with both the EuCanImage data collection (25,000 patients with breast, colorectal and liver neoplasms) and the platform for their own studies. We discussed potential use cases that can be built based on the EuCanImage collection and explored our breast cancer dataset.

About the EuCanImage project
The Horizon 2020 EuCanImage project is building a highly secure, federated and large-scale cancer imaging platform with capabilities that greatly enhance Artificial intelligence (AI) in oncology. Major challenges arise from constructing the clinical use cases across multiple cohorts to implementing the infrastructure to facilitate data collection and analysis.
