Dr. April Khademi, P.Eng @aprilkhademi.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Hi Bluesky community. Me and my team are participating in a cancer hike fundraiser to bring awareness and raise funds for cancer research. Would love to have your support. fundraisemyway.cancer.ca/participants...fundraisemyway.cancer.caI'm supporting the Canadian Cancer Society!In trusted partnership with donors and volunteers, we improve the lives of all those affected by cancer through world-class research, transformative advocacy and compassionate support. 021
Dr. April Khademi, P.Eng @aprilkhademi.bsky.social · 02/08/2025Thank you for the shout out and support through the CCS grant programs! It’s been an honour to work on AI tools that can improve breast cancer patient outcomes. 020
Dr. April Khademi, P.Eng @aprilkhademi.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Interesting work. Authors developed an AI model to detect bilateral asymmetry as a breast cancer (BC) risk factor to predict BC risk up to 5yrs in advance. If both breasts had equal risk, how this would work? Either way, great tech & can't wait to see more like this. www.rsna.org/news/2024/ma...rsna.orgResearchers Develop Deep Learning Model to Predict Breast CancerRadiology study about mammography-based deep learning model that successfully predicts 1-5-year breast cancer risk 010

Dr. April Khademi, P.Eng @aprilkhademi.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Thank you for this great, informative article. This would be a much cheaper way to test for Alzheimer’s- with potential of finding it early too. Really great 🙏 140

Dr. April Khademi, P.Eng @aprilkhademi.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Interesting study looking at AI-based super resolution (SR) techniques for medical imaging. SR is low hanging fruit in the medical device space as it has a lower (regulatory) barrier to entry, and has a clear ROI (scanning more patients in less time). www.emjreviews.com/radiology/ne...emjreviews.comAI-Powered MRI Improves Efficiency Without Compromising Accuracy: ECR 2025Study presented at ECR 2025 has found that an artificial intelligence (AI)-based SuperResolution reconstruction method for lumbar spine MRI scans significantly reduces scan times.
