Dr Bernhard Kainz and Smart Medical Imaging
Dr Bernhard Kainz is a Senior Lecture at Imperial College London. Together with Dr Mengxing Tang, Dr Kainz leads the Affordable Imaging stream within the CDT for Smart Medical Imaging - a collaborative project between Imperial College London and King's College London. His research is about interactive algorithms in healthcare, particularly self-driving medical image acquistion that can guide human operators in real-time during diagnostics.
Watch the video below to hear about Bernhard's passion for his reasearch and to find out how affordable imaging is helping provide people worldwide with accessible healthcare.

Affordable imaging
Healthcare providers and purchasers around the world are facing enormous financial pressure. The Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Smart Medical Imaging are working on four research streams to try to address these issues worldwide. One of these streams looks specifically at low-cost portable imaging technologies and affordable wearable sensors.
Join Dr Bernhard Kainz as he talks about his research in pioneering these technologies, supporting healthcare systems and providing more people with access to affordable care.
