Very excited to kickstart 2026 with this new project supported by @HelmsleyTrust on developing new #imaging #AI in #CrohnsDisease as part of the #STARConsortium in collaboration with @IBD_FloMD @CleClinicMD @MayoClinic and Univ Calgary!

[Florian Rieder MD @IBD_FloMD]

💥Exceptionally grateful to the @HelmsleyTrust for continued support of the #STARConsortium with a 2.7 Mio. USD grant for developing a novel AI based imaging approach for a 'virtual' full thickness intestinal biopsy in stricturing Crohn's disease 💥https://t.co/tXUYOkAJuK

Love to round out the year listening to close friends and collaborators @Pallavi_Tiwari @BrennanFlan and Tom Desilvio talk about topics around #imaging and #AI; of deep interest to all of us.

Enjoy!

[RadIC_Editor @RadIC_Editor]

🚨A new episode of the @radiology_rsna: Imaging Cancer podcast is now available!

@BrennanFlan & Thomas DeSilvio talk with @Pallavi_Tiwari about how AI is shaping individualized imaging and real-world clinical care. Enjoy!

🔎Fusion enhanced biological interpretability. Intelligently fused FMs produce:
✔Cleaner and more localized attention maps
✔Better separation of tumor vs. benign tissue in unsupervised clustering

➡️ Smarter integration, not bigger models, leads to better pathology #AI.

[Satish E. Viswanath @satishev]

#NewPaper from our group on #AI and #digitalpathology, led by Dr Brennan Flannery!

We asked a key question: How similar are these models really, and can we intelligently combine them to do better than any single model alone?

[Satish E. Viswanath @satishev]

🔎 We propose an “intelligent fusion” strategy that removes redundant FM features while preserving complementary info.

➡️ Across diseases, this approach:
✔ Improved F1 and AUC scores vs. individual FMs
✔ Increased attention to true tumor regions while reducing spurious focus

@Emory_AIHealth @anantm @SaimaRathore @sarkerabeed @ReemaDbouk @MBeheraPhD @EmoryUniversity Final day of the 3rd @Emory_AIHealth symposium included #pediatric AI, a Fireside Chat with @emoryhealthcare and @childrensatl leadership, a tour-de-force keynote by @PTenigma on AI discovery across 30 neuro conditions, and the latest in cutting-edge multimodal approaches.

[Satish E. Viswanath @satishev]

Fascinating and exciting sessions this morning at the 3rd @Emory_AIHealth symposium showcasing advances in real-time clinical #AI, lessons from industry toward #translation, and a keynote on #AgenticAI for scientific discovery @EmoryUniversity

[Satish E. Viswanath @satishev]

Great end to Day 1 of the 3rd @Emory_AIHealth symposium with discussions on clinical #AI #scribe interactions, AI and its impact on #MedicalEducation, as well understanding considerations around #governance, #ethics, and #provenance

$3.2 million grant funds research on computational AI in fistulizing Crohn’s disease https://t.co/U2HaWgIC8b @WashUDeptMed @WashUMedGastro @WashUMedMIR @satishev @EmoryUniversity

[Satish E. Viswanath @satishev]

Very excited to work with @P_DeepakIBDMD and @DavidBallardMD on this key effort to develop and validate novel #AI and #deeplearning tools for perianal #fistulas using routine #MRI. Deeply thankful to the @HelmsleyTrust for supporting this critical effort in #CrohnsDisease

[Parakkal Deepak MD, MS, FACG @P_DeepakIBDMD]

Delighted to share that the @HelmsleyTrust has awarded a $3.2 million grant to the three of us: myself @WashUMedGastro @WashUDeptMed, Satish Viswanath, PhD @satishev, an associate professor in the Departments of Pediatrics & Biomedical Engineering @EmoryPediatrics @CoulterBME & David H. Ballard, MD @DavidBallardMD @WashUMedMIR.

The project will validate:
👉Newly developed radiologic definitions for fistula improvement and response through the TOpCLASS fistula consortium. https://t.co/9PZOLbctcy
👉 Fully automated fistula segmentation neural network model on routine pelvic MRIs.
https://t.co/UG0vNQXVj9
👉Further, using advanced computational approaches and artificial intelligence (deep learning) methods, the grant would allow the development of novel radiomics tools to measure fistula response that can be eventually deployed in clinical practice and trials in perianal Crohn’s disease drug development and surgical care pathways.
