SEHA, part of PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, is organising the 14th SEHA International Radiology Conference at Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Mohammad Medical City in Al Ain from 24th–25th January 2026, under the theme "Imaging Excellence: Exploring the Latest AI Horizons in Imaging Innovations".

The annual conference highlights SEHA’s role in advanced medical imaging, interventional radiology, and education. It also supports the UAE’s long-term healthcare transformation plans by bringing together regional and international expertise focused on radiology, artificial intelligence in imaging, and patient outcomes across the wider health ecosystem.

The two-day SEHA International Radiology Conference is expected to gather healthcare executives, medical physicists, radiographers, imaging technologists, and medical technology partners from across the UAE, GCC, and wider Middle East. The programme is structured to share knowledge, encourage collaboration, and support development of radiology professionals and related healthcare roles.

International experts and senior health leaders will join the SEHA International Radiology Conference, representing regional and global institutions. Speakers will examine how imaging supports health systems, with discussions on clinical practice, technology adoption, and policy directions that influence radiology services and integrated models of care in the UAE and beyond.

Key scientific themes at the SEHA International Radiology Conference include Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Sub-Specialty Imaging, Artificial Intelligence in Image Interpretation, Future Imaging Technology, Patient-centred care, the evolving role of Radiology in Precision Medicine, and Clinical Outcomes, reflecting both current practice and planned advances in imaging.

The conference agenda will feature panel discussions, case-based sessions, and educational presentations aimed at radiology teams and other healthcare professionals. Sessions are designed to support clinical decision-making, highlight evidence-based imaging pathways, and show how data-driven tools, including AI, can contribute to more accurate diagnoses and tailored treatment strategies.

Participants at the SEHA International Radiology Conference can also pursue continuing education, with options to obtain professional credentials in radiology. This structure signals SEHA’s long-term focus on improving quality in healthcare delivery, strengthening clinical competencies, and maintaining high standards within imaging departments across the network.

Dr. Yasmine Maher, Chief Executive Officer - Radiology at SEHA, said, "The SEHA International Radiology Conference reflects our enduring commitment to excellence, innovation, and continuous learning. By convening global expertise and showcasing advanced imaging practices, we aim to empower healthcare professionals and strengthen radiology’s role in delivering high-quality, patient-focused care."

Expanding on the strategic importance of the SEHA International Radiology Conference, Dr. Jamal Aldeen Alkoteesh, Medical Director Radiology at SEHA & Chair at STMC, added, "Radiology is central to modern healthcare delivery, enabling early diagnosis, precision care, and better patient outcomes. This Conference aligns closely with national healthcare and innovation priorities, while reinforcing SEHA’s strategic investment in people, technology, and clinical advancement."
