Kia ora,Ko Bernie Bowen tōku ingoa. I am the current President of NZSMIRT and a Charge MIT at Dunedin Hospital.The theme of this year’s NZSMIRT Conference is “Hybrid Intelligence: Defining the Future of Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy.” It couldn’t be more relevant in today’s rapidly evolving healthcare environment.AI is becoming an integral part of healthcare, with the potential to improve patient outcomes in meaningful ways. I believe the concept of hybrid intelligence is essential to our profession combining the skills, knowledge, and clinical expertise of practitioners with AI tools to enhance our understanding of pathology, treatment planning, and patient care. When used thoughtfully, this partnership can improve diagnostic accuracy, increase efficiency, and support more personalised and effective interventions.Rather than replacing clinical expertise, AI should complement it. As professionals, we should continue asking how these technologies can help us deliver safer, more effective care. Whether it’s using fused MRI and CT imaging to support interventional radiology procedures or applying AI to improve workflow and decision-making, the opportunities are significant.This year’s conference will showcase outstanding work from both Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world. It will also highlight the importance of developing and using local datasets that reflect the unique needs of Aotearoa’s diverse population.So, why attend?Our conference in Auckland promises to be inspiring, educational, and enjoyable. You’ll hear from an outstanding lineup of local and international speakers sharing the latest research, innovations, and real-world applications of AI in medical imaging and radiation therapy. There will also be hands-on workshops, fantastic social events, and plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues who are passionate about advancing our profession.I look forward to seeing you in Auckland and sharing this exciting journey as we shape the future of medical imaging and radiation therapy together. ...
