The European Cancer Imaging Initiative aims to promote innovation in digital technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to advance in the fight against cancer. The cornerstone of the initiative is the Cancer Image Europe Infrastructure developed by the EUCAIM project. The platform will make large amounts of cancer images available to European researchers, innovators and clinicians in a privacy-preserving setting, opening the door to the next generation of cancer diagnostics and treatment.

This CONNECT University session will present the Initiative’s milestones and achievements, and delve into EUCAIM’s infrastructure from multiple perspectives. The session will also explore Cancer Image Europe’s approach in working with sensitive health data, as well as current uptake, trends and future horizons for AI-based imaging solutions in cancer.
