Following our successful meeting earlier this year, here's our report: "Nuclear Medicine Artificial Intelligence in Action: The Bethesda Report (#AI Summit 2024)" arxiv.org/abs/2406.01044 In the coming weeks, we hope to further expand this document.

Exciting times with #BIDSLab at SNMMI SNMMI PIDSC sessions @umassengin UMass Biomedical Engineering #SNMMI24

🚀 Thrilled to share our new study in Nature Medicine! We developed an AI model for differential #dementia diagnosis using multimodal data. Highlights: ✅ AUROC of 0.96 in differentiating dementia etiologies ✅ AI-augmented assessments outperformed neurologists by 26.25% ✅

The PETisWonderful 2024 preliminary program is now out. Looking forward to attending it in Edinburgh and honored to give a keynote talk there. petiswonderful.org/pet-is-wonderf…

Fall semester kickoff lunch with #BIDSLab @umassengin UMass Biomedical Engineering

Multiple tenure-line openings in UMass Biomedical Engineering! We are seeking researchers with a strong clinical/translational focus to join our vibrant department housed in UMass’s state-of-the-art Life Science Laboratories with 30+ core equipment facilities. Please help spread the word.

Excited to host the SNMMI PIDSC SNMMI #MWM session on “AI for Nuclear Medicine Diagnostics & Theranostics” at 8AM tomorrow at with Adam Alessio & Guido A. Davidzon! Join us for insightful discussions on the future of #AI in #NuclearMedicine. See you there! tinyurl.com/snmmi25-ai

💡The PIDSC has a great session on AI for Nuclear Medicine Diagnostics & Theranostics at the SNMMI Mid-Winter Meeting! Expert talks on AI’s role, ethics, & future in nuclear medicine. Panel discussion to follow! 📅 Feb 1, 2025 | ⏰ 8-10 AM PT in Grand Ballroom BC

🔥Some Predictions about the NIH situation 🔥NIH budget cuts: On March 14, the continuing resolution runs out that funds the US government (including NIH) through March 14. 🔥On that date the government will shut down (with no review panels, grant awards or Council meetings

📣📣 Exciting news! UMass Amherst professor Andrew Barto won the 2024 #TuringAward for developing reinforcement learning together with his PhD student Richard Sutton.
