SUMMARY:SESSION: Embracing AI-Assisted Programming for Problem Solving and 
 Development in Medical Imaging Physics
LOCATION:Room 212\, Vancouver Convention Centre
DESCRIPTION:Session SU-400-212. Flips the usual lens: AI as something physi
 cists use to build in-house scripts and tools faster\, not just a clinical
  tool. Relevant if your department writes its own QA scripts or planning-s
 ystem plugins.

 g\, and Confidence-Building
LOCATION:Room 202\, Vancouver Convention Centre
DESCRIPTION:Session MO-115-202. Not narrowly an AI session\, but adaptive R
 T is one of the clearest places AI already changed daily practice. This on
 e covers the human side: training\, credentialing\, and building staff con
 fidence in the system.
