We highlight state‑of‑the‑art methods for skin cancer analysis, endoscopic imaging, breast imaging, and diabetic foot screening, alongside novel approaches for facial expression and human motion analysis to support healthcare technologies. Drawing on deep learning, human‑centred AI, and multimodal computer vision, our work addresses real‑world challenges such as data variability, clinical interpretability, and deployment in diverse settings.🕑: 09:50 AM - 10:20 AMKeynote 2: From Prediction to Explanation: Integrating Language and VisionHost: Associate professor Bartek PapieżInfo: bio: Bartek Papiez, Group Lead for Medical Image Analysis and Machine Learning at Big Data Institute, University of Oxford. Official Fellow (AI/ML) Reuben College. 
Bartek's research projects encompass both the theoretical foundations of AI/ML algorithms (such as data fusion, explainaibility, computational fairness), and applied AI/ML for longitudinal disease monitoring (using imaging, patient records, and Natural Language Processing), identification of disease therapeutic targets (using imaging & genetic data integration), and more recently, multimodal cancer imaging.🕑: 10:20 AM - 10:40 AMLecture 1: Opportunities in treatment of cerebral aneurysms with imaging, DLHost: Dr Toni Lassila🕑: 10:20 AM - 11:40 AMSpecial session: Computational Radiotherapy at LTHTHost: Dr Bashar AL-QAISIEH🕑: 11:40 AM - 12:20 PMPanel discussion: Gaps/opportunities in Medical ImagingHost: Dr Toni Lassila/Dr Bashar Al-QAISIEH🕑: 12:20 PM - 01:15 PMLunch Break🕑: 01:15 PM - 02:00 PMKeynote 3: Surgical Video AnalysisHost: Professor Qi Dou🕑: 02:00 PM - 02:20 PMLecture 2: Endoscopic/Surgical Image Analysis: From diagnostics to ARHost: Associate Prof. Sharib Ali🕑: 02:20 PM - 02:40 PMLecture 3: Surgical PerceptionHost: Dr Duygu Sarikaya🕑: 02:40 PM - 03:20 PMKeynote 4: AI-Driven Kidney Stone Identification from Endoscopic VideoHost: Dr Gilberto Ochoa-Ruiz🕑: 03:20 PM - 04:00 PMPanel discussion: Gaps/opportunities in Surgical AIHost: Dr Sharib Ali/Dr Duygu Sarikaya🕑: 04:00 PM - 05:00 PMUnderstanding funding landscape to address gaps (by invitation only)Host: RIS Leeds/Panel members
