This program trains African AI experts in medical imaging to train others, using case-based learning approach and collective intelligence from various related fields (radiology, medical physics, computer science, neurology/neurosurgery, and oncology) to rapidly turn Al knowledge into action. # Sprint AI Training for African Medical Imaging Knowledge Translation (SPARK) Academy --- ## 🚀 Overview This repository serves as my personal workspace and deliverable tracker for the **2026 SPARK Academy**. It contains my contributions to the **MICCAI BraTS Challenge** and documents my journey through medical imaging knowledge translation. For official program details, visit the SPARK Event Website. --- ## 🧠 About SPARK The **SPARK Academy** is a MICCAI-endorsed program designed to train African AI experts in medical imaging. It uses a collective intelligence approach—combining radiology, neurology, and computer science—to turn AI knowledge into practical action, specifically focusing on **glioma brain tumor segmentation**. --- ## 📅 Weekly Deliverables I am documenting my progress and technical outputs on a weekly basis. --- ## 🛠 Technical Focus As a student in this cohort, my work focuses on: * **Medical Imaging AI:** Implementing state-of-the-art segmentation models. * **Knowledge Translation:** Bridging the gap between AI theory and clinical utility in Africa. * **Interdisciplinary Research:** Collaborating at the intersection of neuroscience and machine learning. --- ## 🔗 Quick Links * **Event Portal:** FourWaves SPARK * **Organization:** MICCAI Society --- *Maintained by Angelic Charles | SPARK Academy 2026 Research Cohort*
