In a recent seminar for the 2023/24 CSC 5741 course, Elijah Chileshe delivered an illuminating talk titled "Large-Scale Analysis of Medical Image Metadata" on 08 May, 2024. The seminar, held for MSc in Computer Science students from The University of Zambia, was a highlight in a series of academic discussions aimed at bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the realm of medical imaging.
Chileshe's presentation focused on Work Page 3 of the EMIZ Project. He delved into the project's objective to improve medical imaging practices through a detailed analysis of medical image metadata, with a particular emphasis on DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) compliance. He highlighted the critical role of DICOM compliance in maintaining the consistency and reliability of medical imaging practices, essential for accurate diagnostics and effective patient care. Chileshe’s findings underscored the potential of this large-scale analysis to develop robust guidelines for DICOM compliance, thereby enhancing medical imaging practices in Zambia.
The presentation was well-received by the MSc students from The University of Zambia, sparking engaging discussions and deepening their appreciation for the intersection of computer science and medical imaging
