Computer Vision News - March 2024

Computer Vision News 32 Congrats, Doctor Victor! The field of medicine has experienced the appearance of AI models that can solve complex tasks such as automatic image segmentation or diagnosis (see examples in Figure 1). The application of such models in the clinical practice, if adequately implemented, may result for example in a reduction of timeconsuming tasks, an improvement in the diagnostic accuracy or a better characterization of a disease. However, important challenges need Victor Campello (right in the picture) has recently defended his PhD at Universitat de Barcelona, under the supervision of Karim Lekadir and Santi Seguí. His thesis focused on model generalizability in a multi-centre setting for cardiac MRI. He is now a Postdoctoral Researcher in an ERC-funded project that aims to develop and validate affordable and inclusive AI methods in low-resource settings in rural Africa. Congrats Doctor Victor!
