The paddlepaddle project has nice models. Not well documented though and can be hard to use, so proceed at your own risk. But it is popular.

It’s interesting that the media is just picking up on this now. The first major trial results that showed benefits of thrombectomy was the DAWN trial and if I recall the data was first published in 2016-2017. The hospital I work at adjusted

I don’t have a link on hand, but what I recall regarding sex differences in suicide is that there is a higher incidence of suicide attempts among females but a lower success rate than males. This is what I know about adults, I don’t know if

Agree. ChatGPT can help with taking a rough or vague idea and better articulate what you are trying to say.

Yeah there are other ways to tell if someone has aldosterone driven hypertension through blood work and urine tests. These other tests are to determine if surgery could fix the problem (tumor or unilateral vs bilateral abnormal aldosterone

Radiologist. Depending on the protocol, CT scans usually take anywhere from 5 seconds to 10 minutes (in the longer scans most of that is waiting after contrast injection). MRI studies take a long time to acquire data, usually at least 20 mi

Radiologist. It’s cool, it’s a nice study. The article definitely over hypes the “common cause of hypertension”. These lesions are rare. Most people with high blood pressure have it because of metabolic disease/chronic stress/life

It's an interesting publication, and a necessary one. However, there are a couple of thoughts to keep in mind: 1. The confidence intervals for the risk differences are wide, and some categories include negative numbers. This means that

There is a lot in this post that I completely agree with. The main part is that our success is highly situational. I think this somewhat ties in with luck - working hard in the right situation pays off.

I'm curious, what changes in governance and funding to higher ed institutions would you change? What did you teach/study?

Second follow up. Results are not impressive until they are :) It's certainly not a solved problem, and it's easy to have a pessimistic view now but I'm generally bullish on where things will be 10 years from now.

Problem is though for most of these diseases there just aren't the number of samples available, period, to do it the "right way". HCC for example, has around 50K new cases/year in the US. Even if every single case went i

Label availability is a big problem. There are some academic collaborations for some diseases which is making this better, but datasets in general are minuscule compared to what is available for more general computer vision applications. I

Extremely important, and is the most important question to ask in any screening scenario. It's not the case the more screening is always better. There are plenty of screening regimes that you've never heard about because the trial

This is a real scenario that happens regularly.

I'm not worried. If things are that different, the rest of the economy will be too. The job will also evolve over time, like any other profession that changes with new technology. It's our job (as radiologists and engineers) to sh

Secondary follow up. I don't think that a human reader in the loop will be going away for a long time. Sure, they can be at parity, but does a combined read have better results? This is an active research question. I think what will ha

Yeah, those are part of the issue. For example on the webpage, there is no discussion about the false negative/positive rate of the system, and no comparison or link to an academic paper that compares the performance of the system to a

This is very cool work. I'm a radiologist, I also work on developing ML/AI based systems for cancer detection and characterization. Literally just took a break for a few minutes from creating some labels and saw this as the top HN

OP, sounds like youre experiencing some real burnout. It's OK, it happens to a lot of people. Couple things to think about. 1) Are there ways you can keep going but change something to help? Going to see a therapist? Taking a short bre

It really depends. Some are completely salaried positions. Some physicians are completely private so what they earn is directly tied to how much they work. Even those who are salaried often have some kind of compensation or bonus for extra

I'm a medical student at a top 20 allopathic school in the U.S. This article resonated with me. I think the part that struck me the most was his comments about time. I have diverse academic interests. I studied math and bio in undergra
