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.<p>The End of Human Doctors:<p><a href="https://lukeoakdenrayner.wordpress.com/2017/04/20/the-end-of-human-doctors-introduction/" rel="nofollow">https://lukeoakdenrayner.wordpress.com/2017/04/20/the-end-of...</a>
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.
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.
