SPHAIRE – Spotlight on AI and emerging technologies in IR
SPHAIRE, an interactive area dedicated to deepening the understanding of what emerging technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) can bring to Interventional Radiology (IR) will be launched at CIRSE 2024 and become an integral part of all future CIRSE Annual Congresses.
Cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotics are increasingly being used in healthcare. Their advancements have the potential to make a major impact on medical and economical scenarios. AI algorithms can help future decision making in IR and develop predictive models, improve image quality, support navigation and reduce radiation doses. AI and other emerging technologies therefore hold great potential for IR. The opportunity to improve patient selection and treatment optimization as well as treatment efficacy evaluation, through the generation of classifiers, including imaging biomarkers, and through the generation of relevant clinical information is essential for the future of IR.
This is why CIRSE has created this state-of-the-art extension to its annual congress, aiming to bring together interventionalists, researchers, scientists, engineers, as well as MedTech, AI, and robotics companies in a dedicated area featuring an exhibition and an open podium for presentations, interactive discussions, and demonstrations. With this, CIRSE aims to support knowledge acquisition and mutual understanding through enhanced access to emerging technologies, and to nurture connections and collaborations between the various stakeholders.
SPHAIRE Steering Group
The CIRSE SPHAIRE Steering Group is in charge of the programme of the SPHAIRE initiative at this year’s CIRSE Annual Congress.

Programme
The SPHAIRE will run a programme of talks and panel discussions on five major topics areas:
- Artificial intelligence and healthcare: a paradigm shift?
- Developing AI algorithms to solve clinical problems
- Current AI applications in interventional radiology
- Future AI applications in interventional radiology
- Current spectrum and future horizons for robotics-assisted IR procedures
The engaging programme of discussions on emerging technologies and their application to interventional radiology will take place in a dedicated presentation area in one of the main pavilions. In addition, a dedicated area for the exhibition of AI and emerging technology companies will be established around the presentation area.
This area will provide a chance for CIRSE 2024 participants to learn more about AI and emerging technologies in general, to gain further understanding about the solutions and their applicability to their clinical practice, and to connect with various stakeholders active and interested in the sector.
