During the discussion, the experts highlighted AI's significant role in advancing healthcare from reactive to proactive care. Prof. Gregory Moore emphasized that AI is not just a tool for detecting abnormalities in medical imaging; it is a critical enabler for improving healthcare delivery efficiency. By analyzing vast amounts of complex data in real time, AI optimizes treatment planning and enhances hospital operations, from personnel management to resource allocation.
"This transformation will lead to more personalized care at scale and more efficient healthcare systems", Prof. Moore stated.
Prof. Curtis Langlotz provided profound insights into the future of AI in diagnostic imaging. "AI is revolutionizing radiology by strengthening the human-machine partnership. It’s about leveraging the strengths of both human cognition and AI to enhance efficiency without compromising accuracy", Prof. Langlotz noted. He further explained that AI's capabilities extend beyond detecting abnormalities to optimizing automated reporting processes, measuring lesion metrics, and extracting critical information from images.
Ambassador Jaya Ratnam underscored the potential for collaboration between Singapore and Vietnam in AI-powered healthcare solutions, given their shared strengths and strong bilateral ties. Singapore’s advanced research and development capabilities, combined with Vietnam’s rapidly growing tech talent pool, present a unique opportunity for both nations to lead in addressing global healthcare challenges.
The panelists agreed that AI will continue to play a transformative role in nuclear medicine and diagnostic imaging over the next 5–10 years. Advances in data analytics and cloud-based storage platforms will facilitate global collaborations, particularly in data sharing and international consultations.
