This presentation introduces students to the full pipeline of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine – from classical and deep learning–based image processing to AI-powered clinical decision support systems (CDSS). Using real clinical examples from radiology, surgery, and neurology, participants learn how medical images are acquired, processed, analyzed, and transformed into decision-support tools. The presentation combines technical foundations with clinical applicability, emphasizing validation, explainability, ethics, and practical implementation within healthcare systems.
