The recording of the webinar “Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Reimagined: AI-Supported Breast Oncology” is now available. The event brought together experts from the ODELIA, RadioVal, and BreastSCan projects to discuss how data infrastructures, validation frameworks, and advanced AI methods are shaping the future of breast cancer screening and diagnosis.
Representing the ODELIA project, Jakob Nikolas Kather (University Hospital Heidelberg) presented the project’s vision of developing generalisable AI for breast MRI through a European swarm-learning network. He highlighted that AI models trained on data from a single institution often fail to perform reliably across different healthcare settings, making multicentre collaboration essential. Instead of sharing sensitive patient data, ODELIA enables participating hospitals to collaboratively train AI models while keeping data securely at each site.
The presentation also explored emerging trends such as foundation models, AI agents, and the need to make European hospitals “AI-ready” through robust data infrastructures and governance frameworks. ODELIA’s work aims to support the safe and effective deployment of AI tools that can enhance breast cancer screening and ultimately improve patient care across Europe.
Watch the recording to learn more about ODELIA’s progress and the future of AI-powered breast imaging.
