Sommario
On April 16th, 2026, at 5:00 pm the seminar on "AI, medical imaging & digital twins for healthcare" will take place in DEIB Conference Room (Building 20A).Deep learning algorithms (CNN, VAE, GAN, etc.) have brought about a revolution in the analysis of medical image analysis. These advances can also be used to promote a synthetic and integrative representation of the patient, built from images and other available data. This digital twin can be used for the diagnosis, and then to simulate, optimize and guide the therapy. In this talk, I will illustrate those points with some of our recent work on several medical applications in oncology, neurology, interventional cardiology and robotized surgery.
