i4health Centre for Doctoral Training launch event

The new i4health CDT will train the UK’s future leaders in next-generation medical imaging research, development and enterprise, to produce intelligent, radical healthcare innovations focused on either imaging or imaging-enabled systems. 

Our centre will provide the vital doctoral training to supply a pipeline of world-leading innovators in future medical-imaging technologies equipped with the philosophy and the technical tools to deliver next-generation context-aware imaging and image analysis techniques through to integrated patient-centred therapeutic platforms. 

UCL’s internationally leading positions in medical imaging and devices, data science and AI, robotics, and human-centred design, together with unique access to healthcare data and equipment, ideally place our centre to lead this transformation.
