UPDATE: The MR-Linac Consortium Implements Live AI Translation and Captions to Make it’s 19th Annual Meeting More Inclusive and Accessible
The MR-Linac Consortium is excited to announce a new initiative to improve communication and inclusivity at its 19th Annual Meeting. Partnering with Wordly, an AI language services company, they will use real-time AI translation technology (text and audio) to help the radiotherapy community participate fully, regardless of their native language.
The Steering Committee has been looking for ways to better connect our diverse community. Wordly’s AI translation and captioning technology breaks down language barriers making the scientific program accessible to everyone, offering two-way translation in over 60 languages.
This initiative aims to enhance collaboration and push the boundaries of MRgRT.
“We are thrilled to work with the MR-Linac Consortium on this groundbreaking initiative. Language should never be a barrier to participation, and we are proud that our technology is helping to make that ideal a reality,” said Lakshman Rathnam, CEO of Wordly.
The Steering Committee invites members to experience live AI translation and captioning at the upcoming Annual Meeting, fostering a more inclusive community.

What is the meeting all about? Watch the video below to discover more…
Meetings are scheduled yearly. The meeting is orgnised and run by a specific committee made up of representatives from across the consortium.
It is the intention to select locations that allow geographical spread of the meetings and that provide good international access.
The meetings are generally
divided into 2 main areas of interest:
Educational Interests
Primarily focused on members new to the Consortium or the technology, this track consists of presentations and workshops describing the Consortium structure and way of working, associated projects and the basis of the device (MR, clinical workflow, configuration and acceptance procedures), and achieving a common understanding on terminology (e.g., ATS vs ATP).
Scientific and Research Interests
Composed of a set of presentations and workshops that cover specific scientific and research activities of general interest for the whole consortium. Group meetings discuss clinical studies development and monitoring, guidelines and best practice definitions, and MOMENTUM project deliverables.
Other specific meetings also take place such as the Institutional lead meeting or brainstorm group meetings. Consortium meetings are private, and the material deployed during the meeting has to be considered confidential and property of the authors unless explicitly communicated otherwise
