I'd even want to use similar tech on a personal level. I can't do a brain scan myself, but I can take a picture of a mole. I'm at high-risk for skin cancer, but I honestly wouldn't go see a doctor just for a change for a skin lesion that I'm not sure about. There's too many, and even with an above-average knowledge of what to look for, I have little confidence in my own observation. But if a neural network could tell me it's a higher risk, I'd for sure not wait until my next physical. Gotta be careful people who don't understand the risk & statistics don't depend on negative diagnoses too heavily, though.



I think you’ve misunderstood. This is not for diagnosis. This is so that they can run a crappier lower quality scan and then “enhance” it using neural nets.


No, I'm replying to the parent comment which is about critical decision support vs. removing doctor's from the decision process. I don't believe they were commenting on FastMRI vs. full MRI.
