Synthetic Data Generation: Unlocking New Horizons for Medical Imaging AI

Presented by Merel Huisman, MD PhD, Martin J. Willemink, MD, PhD , Stefania Moroianu, MSci  in Cardiology, Dermatology, Ophthalmology, Pathology, Radiology Jun 12, 2026 | 1:00 PM.

Artificial intelligence in medical imaging continues to advance, but progress is often slowed by limited access to large, diverse, and well-annotated datasets. Privacy concerns, regulatory requirements, and institutional data silos make it difficult to share real-world imaging data at scale. This session addresses that gap by introducing attendees to synthetic imaging data as a practical…
