Joint Second Prize at the CRUK Image Competition 2026

Satsuma Lab is delighted to announce that our image, “Untangling micro-scale vascular networks in lung cancer”, submitted by Dr Shahab Aslani, Dr Daryl Cheng and Dr Alfred So won joint second prize in the CRUK City of London Centre Image Competition 2026.

Chest CT Foundation Model: public study overview

Researchers at University College London are developing and evaluating a research artificial intelligence (AI) foundation model for chest computed tomography (CT) scans. The aim is to support future research into lung diseases such as lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung fibrosis.

Exploring Fairness and Performance Drivers Across State-of-the-Art Pulmonary Nodule Detection Algorithms

Researchers from Satsuma Lab have evaluated the fairness of deep learning based computer aided detection (CADe) systems for lung nodule detection in screening CT scans. Using data from a SUMMIT (London-based cohort), the study found that model performance remains consistent across sex and ethnic groups, despite imbalances in the training data.

A hybrid CNN-RNN approach for survival analysis in a Lung Cancer Screening study

Researchers from Satsuma Lab have introduced a hybrid approach combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) to predict long-term survival in a Lung Cancer Screening (LCS) study. It was demonstrated that incorporating the patient’s imaging follow-up history can lead to improvement in survival prediction.

Moucheng Named Finalist for MICCAI Young Scientist Award (Best Paper Award)

Satsuma Lab is delighted to announce that Moucheng was named a finalist for the MICCAI Young Scientist Award for his paper: Bayesian Pseudo Labels: Expectation Maximization for Robust and Efficient Semi-Supervised Segmentation (Semi-Supervised Segmentation with Pseudo Labels).

Satsuma Lab @ CMIC Away Day 2022

Satsuma Lab had a great time at the Centre for Medical Imaging (CMIC) away day! Spending two days engaging with fellow medical image Core and labs in the centre. Thank you to all for a great event.
