ACQI’s work underpinned by Nobel winning research
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 other…
Advancing imaging analytics in cardiology – expanding the utility of PET tracers
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 cardiac…
