Radiology experts from China and Moscow have forged a significant scientific collaboration
Moscow: During a business meeting at the China International Medical Equipment Fair (CMEF) in Shanghai, renowned radiologists from both regions came together to discuss the potential for cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence and share their expertise in diagnostic imaging service. This exciting development was announced by Yuri Vasiliev, CEO of the Center for Diagnostic and Telemedicine and Senior Consultant for Radiology of the Moscow Healthcare Department, who also serves.
Vasiliev stated “We have witnessed a remarkable interest among the Chinese healthcare community in our scientific advancements. Our recent analysis of downloads from our scientific medical journal, Digital Diagnostics, revealed that Chinese specialists have shown the greatest interest, with more than 9,000 downloads within two years of the journal’s publication. Today, we had the privilege of presenting our Moscow experiment on the integration of artificial intelligence technologies in diagnostic imaging, sharing our scientific achievements and practical outcomes with our esteemed colleagues.”
The ongoing experiment, focused on implementation of computer vision into radiology, is being conducted at the Center for Diagnostic and Telemedicine under the auspices of the Moscow Department of Health, with valuable support from the Department of Information Technologies. Artificial intelligence has played a significant role in detecting disease across 21 modalities, with over 9 million X-ray studies already processed using this technology.
Li Zhiyuan, Chief Radiologist of China, expressed his excitement and commitment to the collaboration, stating, “We are delighted to meet our Russian colleagues and are eager to foster continued cooperation. We are eager to delve into the possibilities and learn from the valuable experiences of our esteemed guests. China has already certified over 55 of its own AI solutions in the field of radiology.”
The Center for Diagnostics and Telemedicine holds a prominent position as a leading scientific, practical, and telemedicine institution within Moscow’s social development complex and the Moscow Department of Health. For the past 26 years, the center has played a major role in enhancing the performance of radiology departments in the capital. Specializing in the implementation of artificial intelligence technologies in medicine, the center has contributed significantly to the advancement of radiation diagnostics and the implementation of telemedicine approaches within medical institutions.
