The European Coordination Committee of the Radiological, Electromedical and Healthcare IT Industry (COCIR) recently celebrated 60 years of innovation and advancement in medical technology with a gala in Brussels.
The event focused on the future of healthcare and the need for the industry to be data-driven, regulated, and sustainable to meet patient needs. COCIR's gala featured four panel sessions on the following topics:
- Research and innovation, and value in health
- Digital health and artificial intelligence
- Laws, regulations, and standards
- Circular economy and global sustainability
COCIR Secretary General Nicole Denjoy closed the event with forward-looking remarks, according to a COCIR statement: "We will continue to play our leading role in the future in advancing healthcare in cooperation with our respected partners and stakeholders," she said.

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)
