The course will describe ways of using imaging data and glean out information for virtual biopsy in patients with urological cancers. The aim of the course is to introduce virtual biopsy concept using machine learning and artificial intelligence. The course will provide some practice on using advanced computer programmes.

Learning Objectives :

At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:

Generate and spread concept of virtual biopsy.
Understand concept of radiomics, common algorithms used.
How artificial intelligence can be used to enhance understanding of tumour heterogeneity.
Understand concept of precision medicine.
