Beyond the Patterns 44 - Christian Baumgartner: The next decade in automated medical image analysis

We have the great honor to welcome Christian Baumgartner to our lab for an invited presentation! Abstract: Adoption of machine learning in many fields is exceeding expert predictions and the technology is in many ways already shaping our daily lives. Machine learning certainly also has the potential to transform our health care system, however, so far clinical adoption has been hesitant. In my research, I am primarily concerned with using machine learning for extracting information from medical images. In this talk I want to explore the specific benefit this technology can bring us, the reasons why it is not yet spread more widely in clinical practice, and what topics we, as the research community, must address before ML-enhanced medical image analysis can be used on a large scale to benefit patients. Short Bio: Dr. Christian Baumgartner is currently heading the Machine Learning for Medical Image Analysis Group at the University of Tübingen. Christian completed his PhD in 2016 under the joint supervision of
