What if a routine CT scan could help doctors get chemotherapy dosing right? PredicTx Health, a University of Melbourne spin-out, is turning that idea into reality, using AI to transform everyday CT scans into a powerful tool for precision cancer treatment, helping clinicians tailor chemotherapy doses more accurately to the individual patient.
This multidisciplinary forum invites clinicians, academics and industry experts to explore how this technology can optimise cancer care. Participants will gain evidence-based insights into the future of precision medicine and take part in a dialogue about improving patient safety and treatment outcomes.
