"NBML (National Brain Mapping Lab) could be a good starting point as it is central and brings different researchers under one roof. We do hope to act as a hub in the country in order to connect all researchers in AI science in different fields involving engineering as well as medical sciences in order to improve the quality of healthcare," Dr. Ay reiterated.
"We also have several participants from Iraq and they have requested us to hold a workshop on the applications of Al in medical imaging," NBML director said.
"In comparison to other countries Iran is standing in a good point in this field and there are potentials to further improve in this field," he noted.
