The Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering Department in V. R. Siddhartha Engineering College will organise a week-long short-term training programme (online) on ‘Trends and challenges in medical image analysis through deep learning algorithms’ from October 26 to 31.

Resource persons from premier institutes like IIT Madras, IISc, Bengaluru, Anna University, Chennai, SRMIST, Chennai, NRI Medical College and Pinnamaneni Siddhartha Insititute of Medical Sciences and Research Foundation, Vijayawada, besides industry partners such as Siemens Healthineers, Bengaluru, Accuracy Medical Equipment, Surat, and Chase Technologies, Chennai, will throw light on how deep learning has emerged as a powerful tool to solve challenging tasks in medical imaging domain, using neural networks to interpret the images.

According to a statement released by the institute, the objective is to identify unique challenges and strategies that researchers have taken to address medical image analysis and prove an overview of deep learning techniques and some of the state-of-the-art applications besides developing algorithms that identify patterns and quantify relationships in images.
