Da Nang, Vietnam – The 2024 Vietnam Society of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine (VSRNM) conference, held in Da Nang, witnessed a groundbreaking panel discussion on "Solutions to Accelerate AI Adoption in Healthcare". The event, attended by over 600 healthcare professionals, was co-organized by the Da Nang People’s Committee, the Vietnam Society of Radiology & Nuclear Medicine, and VinBrain. The discussion focused on the pivotal role of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming modern medicine.
The panel featured esteemed global experts in healthcare and technology, including Prof. Curtis Langlotz, Director of Stanford's AIMI Center and President of RSNA, Prof. Pham Minh Thong, President of the Vietnamese Society of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Ambassador Jaya Ratnam, Singapore’s Ambassador to Vietnam, Prof. Gregory Moore, Former Corporate Vice President at Microsoft and Google, and Mr. Steven Truong, Founder & CEO of VinBrain.
Prof. Pham Minh Thong and VinBrain's CEO Mr. Steven Truong co-moderated the discussion panel
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.
