Prof. Peter MacMahon

Peter is a pioneering Consultant Radiologist at the Mater Misericordiae University and Mater Private Hospitals, and a Clinical Professor at University College Dublin. With a distinguished career including roles as Clinical Director of Radiology at Mater Public Hospital and current Director of Radiology at Mater Private Hospital, Peter has established himself as a leader in radiological innovation.
At the forefront of AI integration in healthcare, Peter has spearheaded the deployment and validation of multiple commercial AI solutions in routine clinical practice at the Mater Hospital. These cutting-edge technologies continuously analyse medical imaging for a range of pathologies, including stroke, traumatic head and neck injuries, pulmonary embolisms, and fractures. Peter’s commitment to advancing medical imaging extends to his collaborative research with UCD, developing novel AI models trained on Mater patient data. This work aims to enhance diagnostic confidence in critical medical emergencies, particularly those related to the spine and brain. A thought leader in the field, Peter recently hosted the successful “AI and Irish Radiology: Framing the Future Conference” at The Pillar Centre, Mater Hospital. This event provided valuable insights into the practical applications of AI in Radiology within an Irish context, further cementing his role as a key figure in shaping the future of radiological practice in Ireland.
