15. AI Companion: Neurologist’s BFF⁠

Ascent of AI in healthcare opens the way to precision and personalized medicine becoming a standard of care in neurology. One important aspect is extracting more meaningful data from brain imaging and scans, given how crucial they are for the diagnosis and monitoring in neurology. Facing rising demand for brain MRI procedures, radiologists can increasingly have their AI companions, helping them to manage the task, as clinical burdens and disease complexity continue to increase. In the episode of NeuroCentury, its host Paweł Świeboda discusses these game-changing developments with Wim Van Hecke, founder and CEO of Icometrix, a company that is enabling radiologists and physicians optimize their workflows and clinical decision-making Wim trained as engineer and specialized in biomedical engineering and neuroimaging. He is author or co-author of over 200 scientific publications and editor of a clinical neuroimaging handbook. He is also a visiting professor at Free University of Brussels. Icometrix has developed a suite of tools for quantitative assessment of brain MRI scans in the different fields of neurology. It is now transforming the care of patients with neurological disorders. As disease-modifying treatments start to become available for Alzheimer’s disease, the importance of advanced diagnostic and prognostic technologies and biomarkers coming together to standardize care pathways, has never been greater. #neurocentury #healthcare #brain #neurotechnology #neuroimaging #AI ________________ neurocentury.com Music for the NeuroCentury podcast is composed by Rafał Kulczycki
