New resource: AI webinar series
Building on these publicly available resources, the IAEA has designed a dedicated 12-part webinar series to provide medical physicists with the knowledge and skills needed to bring image-based AI systems into clinical practice. It is organized by the IAEA Human Health and Technical Cooperation Program under a dedicated regional project to improve the quality and safety of radiology services through medical physics.
Online sessions will be held every two weeks from October 2025 to April 2026. Experts from Germany, India, the Netherlands and the United States are leading interactive presentations and live discussions on:
- Overview of AI: its historical background and terminology
- Roles and responsibilities of medical physicists in AI
- Basic and advanced statistical methods
- Ethical and regulatory considerations related to AI systems
- Machine learning models, training, and validation
- deep learning architecture
- data management
- Clinical implementation of image-based AI systems
- Radiology diagnosis using AI
- Image-based AI systems in radiotherapy
- Radiomics for medical physicists
- The role of medical physicists in the clinical validation of AI techniques in image processing
At the end of the series, participants will be expected to promote the safe, efficient, ethical and responsible use of AI.
“Participating in the IAEA AI Webinar Series has deepened our understanding of how medical physicists can safely and effectively integrate AI into clinical practice,” said Noramaliza Mohd Noor, Associate Professor and Medical Physicist at Universiti Putra Malaysia. “These sessions broadened my perspective on the future of our field and strengthened my commitment to enhancing patient-centered care through innovation.”
