Artificial intelligence (AI), gadolinium safety, and 7-tesla MRI will be the key topics for the upcoming Frankfurt Interdisciplinary Symposium for Innovative Diagnostics and Therapy (FISI) 2018, according to the German Radiological Society (Deutsche Röntgengesellschaft, DRG).
The meeting is titled "MRI and beyond" and will feature sessions covering a wide range of medical disciplines, including head and neck, cardiac, musculoskeletal, gynecological, and abdominal diagnostics. Among several notable speakers are Dr. Michael Forsting and Dr. Alexander Radbruch, JD, from Essen University Hospital. Forsting will discuss AI and 7T MRI, and Radbruch will deliver the latest updates to cerebral gadolinium deposition.
The meeting will take place 14 to 15 September in Frankfurt.
![A normal mammogram confirmed by three-year radiologic follow-up illustrates reader-marked regions of interest (ROIs) during (A) unaided (round 1) and (B) artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted (round 2) reading. Each colored dot represents an ROI for recall by a human reader. Readers could mark more than one ROI per case, represented by multiple dots of the same color. During AI-assisted reading, the AI system displayed three visible prompts: two with suspicion of malignancy scores of 35% (left mediolateral oblique [L MLO] and craniocaudal [L CC]) and one with a suspicion of malignancy score of 10% (right craniocaudal [R CC]), shown as polygonal overlays. Without AI, six of 10 readers (60%) marked a false-positive ROI. With AI assistance, this fell to two of 10 (20%). R MLO = right mediolateral oblique.](https://img.auntminnieeurope.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/07/2026-07-14-radiology-mammogram-ai-auto-bias.H0bYO8QlWs.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
