The biggest Danish cancer conference just took place, and DCPT based researchers and clinicians were well represented. Amongst + 100 posters, PhD student Mathis Rasmussen was awarded for his poster on Artificial Intelligence for organs at risk-delineation.
Danish Cancer Research Days is a national interdisciplinary cancer conference with 500 participants hosted annually by DCCC and DMCG.dk. PhD student at DCPT and Department of Experimental Clinical Oncology at Aarhus University Hospital, Mathis Rasmussen, was awarded this year’s Poster Award for a well-communicated poster with great academic content and layout. Mathis Rasmussen presented his project that shows how AI-assisted head and neck contouring significantly reduces inter-observer variation and contouring bias and -time across institutions.
The poster committee highlighted an interactive element that invited conference participants to do their own delineation of organs at risk, and thereby simply and effectively communicating Mathis Rasmussen’s research to audiences with very different backgrounds.
‘It was a great honour for me to receive the poster award. As a young researcher, nothing is more motivating than being recognized for your work. A resounding "thanks" to the assessment committee and the organisers - it was a brilliant conference,’ says Mathis Rasmussen.
