  1. Lowers radiation exposure, reducing patient risks.
  2. Addresses RCM shortages while promoting sustainable practices.
  3. Minimises the environmental impact of CT scans, paving the way for greener healthcare solutions.

Supported by the European Commission and co-funded by #HorizonEurope and UK Research and Innovation, NetZeroAICT aims to advance sustainable AI technologies for better patient care by eliminating the need for iodinated radiocontrast media (RCM) in CT scans.

Thank you to all partners for their contributions and to ZAS – Ziekenhuis aan de Stroom for hosting the meeting. We look forward to our next meeting in 2025, hosted by the University General Hospital of Heraklion “PAGNI” in Heraklion, Crete.
