Erasmus MC will run the lab, conducting research projects using Qure’s AI technology. The initial research project will focus on musculoskeletal and chest imaging
Qure.ai has partnered with Erasmus MC, University Medical Center Rotterdam, to launch the AI Innovation Lab for Medical Imaging. The initial program will run for 3 years and will conduct detailed research into the detection of abnormalities by AI algorithms for infectious and non-infectious disease conditions. The goal will be to understand the potential use cases for AI in Europe and provide guidance to clinicians on best practices for the adoption of the technology specifically for their requirements.

Healthcare systems across Europe have faced financial pressures due to the pandemic. Resources are constrained as it is a challenge to recruit specialist consultants and radiologists. Adopting AI can alleviate clinicians’ burden and provide adequate early warning systems and ongoing monitoring of abnormalities. Qure is already seeing benefits of automated detection of anomalies and progressive detection where AI can provide a more accurate and efficient analysis of tumours.
Over 3 years of the partnership, multiple radiologists and PhD students will work in the AI innovation centre to generate evidence and publish them in peer-reviewed journals. The team will focus on AI for chest CTs, X-rays and brain CTs.
