Abstract: In this talk, Valla will mainly focus on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in pathology. She will present research results within digital pathology and AI analysis in breast and lung cancer, and show examples of AI-based image analysis in other fields of medicine.
Marit Valla leads the research group Artificial intelligence and digital pathology in cancer (AICAN) which studies the use of artificial intelligence in the interpretation of histopathological slides from cancer. AICAN is a cross disciplinary research group involving NTNU, St. Olavs hospital, Levanger hospital and SINTEF. They use artificial intelligence in the interpretation of histopathological slides from cancer. The group's goal is to establish methods able to predict biological properties and prognosis in breast and lung cancer. They use established biobanks from NTNU/St. Olavs hospital, and collect tissue from collaborating partners nationally and abroad.
