Bit of an aside, but I'd love to know if said Deep Learning could possibly learn to detect whether a pneumonia was merely eosinophilic (no invader, just white cells gone wild.) I'm hoping that maybe a more general distribution would be characteristic of eosinophilic pneumonia, I suppose.
A high-quality blog series by Luke Oakden-Rayner, a radiologist (MD) who is doing a PhD focusing on applying machine learning to medical images and text.
I'm currently taking an ML seminar through my university's computer science department while in medical school, and it blows my mind daily. I'd love to contribute, but know that I don't have the time or patience to become an effective ML researcher in medicine. Cheers to these fantastic individuals pushing the application of ML in medicine, potentially saving human lives.
