	Data Science for Social Impact (DSFSI) research group at the University of Pretoria, Join us at our next webinar: Driving Equity in Medical Imaging: Overcoming Africa’s AI Divide DSFSI - Newsletter (DS at UP) Oct 9   READ IN APP   We are delighted to invite you to our next DS4Society Webinar, featuring Dr Udunna Anazodo, Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurology and Neurosurgery at McGill University, Canada. 🗓 Date: Friday, 24 October 2025 ⏰ Time: 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM SAST 📍 Venue: Online (link will be provided upon registration) 📩 RSVP by: Wednesday, 22 October 2025 👉 RSVP here: https://forms.gle/G6m3zsLUqxWKQPQW6 About the Talk Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds transformative potential for diagnostic imaging, especially in resource-constrained healthcare systems. However, its promise remains limited by enduring structural challenges that hinder implementation across African contexts. In this talk, Dr Anazodo will outline the key barriers that restrict the use of AI in medical imaging in Africa and propose a roadmap for enabling innovation and local application of AI to address healthcare needs in the region and other similar settings. This webinar aims to open a dialogue on how African researchers, clinicians, and technologists can work together to ensure that AI innovation in medical imaging is inclusive, contextually relevant, and sustainable. About the Speaker Dr Udunna Anazodo completed her PhD in Medical Biophysics at Western University and was a MITACS Accelerate Fellow at the Lawson Health Research Institute. She currently leads the Multimodal Imaging of Neurodegenerative Disease (MiND) Lab at the Montreal Neurological Institute, where her team develops PET and MRI techniques for quantitative neuroimaging. Beyond her lab, Dr Anazodo is a leading advocate for improving access to diagnostic imaging in Africa. She is: Founder and Chair of the Consortium for Advancement of MRI Education and Research in Africa (CAMERA), a global network building sustainable MRI capacity on the continent. Scientific Director of the Medical Artificial Intelligence (MAI) Lab at Crestview Radiology in Lagos , Africa’s first AI lab dedicated to training, developing, and implementing AI in medical imaging. Programme Director of the SPARK Academy (Sprint to AI Training for African Medical Imaging Knowledge Translation), a deep learning and medical imaging train-the-trainer initiative in Africa. Her work exemplifies the intersection of cutting-edge science, capacity building, and equitable access to technology in global health. 📩 Enquiries: dsfsi...@up.ac.za Postgraduate students, supervisors, researchers, and anyone interested in the future of AI and medical imaging in Africa are warmly invited to attend. This webinar is a collaboration between DSFSI, AfriDSAI, Sisonke Biotik, and the University of Pretoria Faculty of Health Sciences Data Science for Social Impact (DSFSI) research group at the University of Pretoria.
