We all have freckles and spots on our bodies of different shapes, sizes and textures. Most of these are perfectly safe and healthy, but some are not - knowing how to tell the difference could be life-saving. The CF Dermatology Unit provided this image and, with a little help from AI, let’s find out what we are looking at this week!

To familiarise health professionals with the latest artificial intelligence (AI) tools, so that they can apply them in their daily practice for the benefit of patients: this is the aim of the MEDICA AI conference, which will be held on July 16th at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF). The event is organised by the Digital Surgery Lab, a multidisciplinary team from the Breast Unit of the CF led by surgeon Pedro Gouveia.

By Ronald A. DePinho, MD, PhD (hc), DSc (hc) 
University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas

This public lecture will address the escalating medical, economic, and social challenges posed by an aging world population, highlighting how scientific discovery is illuminating new preventive and curative strategies to mitigate this burden.

The images created during the daily scientific and medical endeavours at the Champalimaud Foundation can be as beautiful and compelling as any work of art. To the untrained eye, these images might also appear baffling, but, if you know what you’re looking at, they may just reveal information that can spark discoveries, contribute to the improvement of patient quality of life and maybe even alter our understanding of reality.
