To celebrate this landmark, Dr. Adrian Dixon from Cambridge gave a special lecture. Click here for the full details.

Meanwhile, Dutch researchers have developed an algorithm to improve the robustness of computer-aided detection (CAD) to identify tuberculosis on chest x-rays -- enabling CAD to significantly improve the detection of thoracic abnormalities. Learn more here.
