Last month, Jana Eder presented our work on the differential diagnosis of hand arthritis on radiographs using deep learning at the International Workshop on Osteoarthritis Imaging #IWOI. She also had the pleasure of chairing one of the scientific sessions.

Back home after #EULAR 2026 in #London, and taking a moment to look back at an inspiring few days with the #AutoPiX consortium.

AutoPiX, the trials!

How can we make radiographic assessment of structural joint damage more sensitive, reproducible and scalable? At #EULAR 2026, the @autopix.bsky.social  presented the abstract “From expert annotations to computer vision-enabled quantitative radiographic endpoints for structural joint damage”.

We are pleased to share a new publication emerging from the @autopix.bsky.social  autoscoRA: Deep Learning to Automate Sharp/van der Heijde Scoring of Radiographic Damage in Rheumatoid Arthritis https://acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/art.70196

The #AutoPiX team ready to play!

What Does “Bias” Really Mean? 🤔 Bias is any trend or deviation from the truth in how data is collected, analysed, interpreted, or published. @autopix.bsky.social glossary defines bias as a systematic deviation from actual results caused by deliberate or unintentional influences during study.

🧠 AutoPiX Glossary | What is Data Architecture? In the context of the @autopix.bsky.social , data architecture is the smart blueprint that organizes how health information is collected, stored, accessed, and used across hospitals, partners, clinicians, and medical devices.

The goal is not to replace clinicians, but to augment human expertise by providing objective, reproducible, and potentially more sensitive analysis of medical imaging data. #AutoPiX #AI #MachineLearning #MedicalImaging #IHI #DigitalHealth #Rheumatology #MedicalAI

🧠 AutoPiX Glossary | What does “Foster Explainability” mean? In healthcare, fostering explainability means designing #AI systems that can show their work when supporting clinical decisions, like an assistant that not only gives an answer, but also explains how it reached that conclusion.

#WorldASDay2026 is an annual day dedicated to people living with axial spondyloarthritis #axSpA, (or #ankylosing #spondylitis) #AutoPiX will reduce the burden of #axSpA by developing imaging aids that can shorten time to diagnosis and, thus, to appropriate treatment that avoids feared complications.
