ACQI congratulates John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton, winners of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics. The Laureates were recognised for their work in using physics principles to develop some of the world’s first machine learning algorithms which underpin contemporary algorithms that are revolutionising the world of data analytics. Machine learning is enabling ACQI and otherContinue reading “ACQI’s work underpinned by Nobel winning research”

ACQI members have recently collaborated with Cardiologists to undertake and publish a study in the International Journal of Cardiac Imaging to automatically identify blood vessels surrounding the heart. This is in order to re-purpose the PET imaging tracer 68Ga-Octeotrate, traditionally used for identifying tumours of the neuroendocrine system, for use in identifying and tracking cardiacContinue reading “Advancing imaging analytics in cardiology – expanding the utility of PET tracers”

The 2024 ACQI Symposium will be held on November 11 at the Harry Perkins Institute for Medical Research at the QEII Hospital in Nedlands, Western Australia. This symposium will use medical imaging analytics as the springboard to consider multiple areas of medicine and health, and the capacity we have to unlock associated data silos forContinue reading “2024 ACQI Symposium – Open Invitation”

We were delighted that the high-profile online radiology news and information resource, Aunt Minnie, has promoted the work of our PhD student, Nathaniel Barry, in analysing credentialing data from the TROG 18.06 FIG trial in glioblastoma. This work resulted from an enormous multicentre national effort to develop this trial which is examining the role ofContinue reading “Efforts to improve access to advanced imaging methods highlighted”

Thanks to the generous support of the UWA Data Institute, with funding provided by the tech design company BCG.X, UWA Medical Physics Masters student Kaylee Molin is being funded to undertake a summer vacation project with members of ACQI and the UWA Medical Physics research group. Kaylee will be analysing a series of PSMA PET/CTContinue reading “Kaylee to spend her summer analysing prostate cancer imaging”

The 2023 annual Symposium and Workshop of the ACQI was held at the Harry Perkins Institute for Medical Research in Perth, Western Australia, on November 20. The symposium saw a series of presentations given on current related research as well as efforts to build capacity in imaging analytics, including a presentation by Dr Ryan SullivanContinue reading “ACQI Symposium & Workshop 2023 – A great day of clinical imaging data science”

The 2023 ACQI Symposium and Workshop are happening on November 20 in the Harry Perkins Institute for Medical Research. The program for the events can be accessed here.

ACQI researchers and students Nathaniel Barry, Jake Kendrick, Mubashar Hassan, Saima Safdar, Brani Rusanov, Pejman Rowshanfarzad and Martin Ebert has been successful in applying to the WA Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) Fund’s Generative AI Applications Challenge. The related project, to be undertaken at the Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, involves investigating the ability ofContinue reading “ACQI powered-up again: funding success from WA Future Health Research Innovation Fund”

The research being undertaken by ACQI has been given a funding boost, having been awarded a $100k Transformational Grant by the Charlies Foundation for Research. ACQI Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr Saima Safdar, attended the Foundation awards night to be awarded the grant, to be used to develop computational pipelines to generate predictive models for disease progressionContinue reading “ACQI research boosted by hospital foundation support”
