Professor Sir Michael Brady (Professor of Oncological Imaging) will be giving a talk entitled “Medical Imaging and the Big Data Future” for the Oxfordshire Branch of the British Computer Society.

Professor Sir Michael Brady FRS FREng FMedSci
Scientist and entrepreneur Professor Brady is committed to the commercialisation of science. He applies his extensive academic background to a wide range of exciting commercial ventures. In this talk he will discuss on-going work in medical imaging and curing diseases such as cancer.

Medical science and practice continue to be transformed by Computer Science and Engineering, particularly by imaging. This talk outlines some of the ways in which medical imaging has evolved from the generation of images to inform a clinician to numbers that quantify disease and its evolution; by embracing cloud technology and big data, providing new opportunities for science and business.
