In collaboration with the Centre of Biomedical Technologies, QUIQ is proud to be hosting international lung ultrasound expert Associate Professor Libertario Demi for a two-day seminar.
Dr. Libertario Demi is an internationally recognised expert in medical ultrasound, with a particular focus on lung ultrasound imaging. He is Associate Professor at the University of Trento, where he leads the Ultrasound Laboratory Trento (ULTRa), and Adjunct Professor at Queensland University of Technology. His research spans signal processing, image formation, and diagnostic imaging, with over 190 peer-reviewed publications and multiple international awards.
Dr. Demi led the Italian COVID-19 Lung UltraSound (ICLUS) project, pioneering AI-assisted lung ultrasound for respiratory disease diagnosis. His work continues to shape the future of noninvasive imaging in clinical practice.
Program:
Lecture 1, 16 June: AI-Based Lung Ultrasound Data Analysis
1:30pm to 3:30pm
This lecture explores the transformative role of artificial intelligence in lung ultrasound interpretation. Associate Professor Libertario Demi will present cutting-edge methods for automating image analysis, enhancing diagnostic accuracy, and supporting clinical decision-making. Attendees will gain insights into machine learning models trained on large-scale ultrasound datasets, real-time image classification, and the integration of AI tools into point-of-care workflows. The session will also highlight the challenges and ethical considerations in deploying AI in clinical environments.
Lecture 2, 17 June: Quantitative Lung Ultrasound Imaging
1:30pm to 3:30pm
Quantitative lung ultrasound is redefining how clinicians assess pulmonary conditions. In this session, Associate Professor Demi will delve into the principles and techniques behind quantifying
ultrasound data to extract objective, reproducible metrics. Topics include signal processing, artifact characterisation, and the development of quantitative biomarkers for lung aeration and pathology. The lecture will showcase recent advancements and clinical applications, offering a glimpse into the future of precision imaging in respiratory care.
