“From artificial intelligence to predictive and precision medicine which developments in healthcare”: this is the title of the great training event scheduled Thursday 13 October in the Church of Sant’Agostino in Città della Pieve (ore 8,30-18), born from the collaboration between the regional group Aifm (Italian Association of Medical Physics) Umbria, the Department of Services and of the SITRO direction of the Technical Health Service of theUsl Umbria 1 and the Umbrian School of Public Administration. The initiative was dedicated to Dr. Fausto Chionne, one year after his untimely death, to share and deepen the applications of artificial intelligence in the medical and diagnostic field that he himself had immediately understood and started to outline.
The use of techniques of Artificial intelligence in medicine it is widely used and ever expanding. This study day aims to provide an overview of its applications in the field of Diagnostic Imaging, Nuclear Medicine, Radiotherapy and Medical Physics. In particular, with this training event we wanted to remember the colleague Fausto Chionne, head of the Medical Physics service of the USU Umbria 1, who died prematurely last autumn. In his professional activity, Dr. Chionne has dealt with various aspects of Medical Physics, also specializing in the management of radiological information systems (Ris-Pacs) and in all aspects related to the digitalization of radiodiagnostics. Open to technological innovations, having immediately understood the potential of artificial intelligence in the diagnostic field, he began to outline the applications that he is trying to carry out.
The training and technical-professional objectives of the conference – whose scientific manager is Michele AvanzoSoc of Health Physics, Oncological Reference Center Aviano (Pn) – are those who make health professionals aware oftechnological and experimental evolution of this new IT application, as a precious aid to diagnostic and clinical decisions. The event has the patronage of: Region of Umbria, Municipality of Città della Pieve, Umbrian School of Public Administration, Usl Umbria 1, Aifm – Italian Medical Physics Association, PuntoZero Scarl, Provincial Order of Surgeons and Dentists of Perugia, Provincial Order of Surgeons and Dentists of Terni, Tsrm and Pstrp Order of Perugia and Terni, Opi Perugia and Terni and Bruno Kessler Foundation. The organizing committee and the conference secretariat are made up of Michelina Casale, Auro Ferranti, Piero Fiordelli, Christian Fulcheri, Valter Papa, Andrea Pentiricci and Giampaolo Rossi. Participation in the event will award 8 ECM training credits to all professions.
