1. RadioVal: A multi-centric project which is funded by the European Union. Its aim is to implement a very
comprehensive validation of artificial intelligence solutions for breast cancer treatment.
2. AUS/SHS: A collaborative project between Ain Shams University and Siemens Healthineers. Its aim is to evaluate
the accuracy of AI in differentiating abnormal findings from non-actionable findings in chest X-ray.
3. TriALs: An accepted challenge at MICCAI 2024. Its aim is to establish a benchmark for liver tumor segmentation on
non-contrast CT scans and show the potential of utilizing multi-phase data to enhance the training process,
thereby enhancing lesion detection accuracy in non-contrast imaging when access to contrast agents is restricted.
