Join the National Cancer Institute for our next Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) webinar:

Kids Aren't Small Adults: Building Intentional AI for Pediatric Brain Tumors

Tuesday, March 10, 2026, from 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET

AI and computational imaging can inform better, more personalized treatments for kids with brain cancer. 

Each year, thousands of children are diagnosed with brain tumors, and determining the right treatment level can be challenging. Join us to learn more from Dr. Pallavi Tiwari, who is developing a pediatric brain tumor image informatics (PBTi2) toolkit to transform how brain cancers in children are diagnosed and treated. Supported by CCDI, the PBTi2 project is a groundbreaking effort to create the largest database of annotated MRI scans and novel, image-based prognostic models. 

During this webinar, Dr. Tiwari will: 

·                     Explore how MRI images can offer extra clues about a child's diagnosis and prognosis    

·                     Discuss what it would take to build reliable and high-quality MRI data sets for children with brain cancer  

·                     Expand on how the first unified, community-driven PBTi2 toolkit aims to improve scan organization, facilitate more in-depth annotations, and help researchers better understand how pediatric brain tumors behave 

Find out what's next for MRI-driven insights in pediatric brain cancer research. Register today and join the conversation!
