Live Tonight: Application of Large Medical AI Models in Medical Imaging – Special Series on Healthcare AI Foundation Models (Session 2)

Since 2025, large medical AI models have gradually abandoned the “technology-first” mindset, shifting toward a pragmatic approach focused on “value realization,” and have begunEntering the Pragmatism Stage. From drug development to disease diagnosis, and from patient care to healthcare management, large language models have permeated every corner of the healthcare industry.

To accelerate the rapid application of large language model (LLM) technologies in healthcare scenarios, VCBeat has specially organized a series of live-streamed events under the theme “Pragmatism,” titled “Special Series on Large Medical Models.” This eventThe event will be conducted in the form of four online live-streamed sessions, with two to three leading enterprises in the field of domestic medical large models invited to each session., focusing on in-depth discussions of individual large-model application scenarios to overcome implementation challenges, connect ecosystem resources, and facilitate greater ecosystem collaboration and supply-demand matching.

In recent years, deep learning and generative AI technologies have demonstrated significant potential in medical image analysis. They can automatically identify information such as lesion regions, types, and severity in medical images, thereby assisting physicians in making more accurate and efficient diagnoses and treatment plans. The application of large AI models in medical image analysis involves tasks such as classification, segmentation, registration, and reconstruction of medical images.

Based on this, from 19:00 to 19:45 on April 7, the second session of VCBeat’s live-streaming series on large medical AI models, starting with “medical imaging” as the service object, invitedZheng Chao, Chief Technology Officer of SHUKUN; Wang Shuhao, Co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of THOROUGH FUTURETwo guests, attending “Applications of Large AI Models in Medical Imaging"Online roundtable discussion aimed at promoting the practical application of large medical models in the field of medical imaging."

Zheng Chao

SHUKUN Chief Technology Officer

The leader developed intelligent assisted diagnostic systems, including SHUKUN Coronary CTA, Head and Neck CTA, and Liver MRI, which have been deployed in over 3,000 hospitals across China.

2009–2017: Employed at IBM China Development Lab, serving as Chief Architect for Cloud Computing and Cognitive Computing. During his tenure at IBM, he led the incubation and productization of IBM’s cloud platform and cognitive computing platform, driving IBM’s transformation in the AI era. He was a core contributor to global Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) standards and among the earliest participants and initiators of open cloud platforms (Cloud Foundry) and container technologies in China. He received multiple awards, including the IBM Technical Contribution Award and the Innovation Excellence Award.

Awarded more than 60 international and domestic patents.
