AI in Clinical Practice in Europe

Presented by Amine Korchi, MD , Benoît Rizk, MD, Merel Huisman, MD PhD in Pathology, Radiology Jun 11, 2026 | 4:15 PM.

Artificial intelligence in radiology has moved well beyond pilot projects, yet adoption across Europe remains uneven and complex. Attendees will explore why variability exists across EU, EEA, and Swiss regions and what that means for real-world implementation. As regulatory scrutiny increases and market offerings expand, participants will gain clarity on how commercial availability, pricing models,…

Synthetic Data Generation: Unlocking New Horizons for Medical Imaging AI

Presented by Merel Huisman, MD PhD, Martin J. Willemink, MD, PhD , Stefania Moroianu, MSci  Jun 12, 2026 | 1:00 PM.

Many clinical specialties outside of traditional radiology, such as ophthalmology, have become major producers of imaging data, yet their imaging environments often evolve into fragmented ecosystems with multiple vendors, proprietary formats, and disconnected storage. These conditions can create workflow friction, delays that disrupt provider–patient interactions, and data degradation that limits longitudinal comparison and future AI…
