Interesting. I've seen plenty of mentions of the potential use of AI in medicinal imaging, but not in a context where time is of the essence. That's a particularly compelling use case.

"Still needs to be greenlit by the FDA" - has anyone read a discussion of how the FDA is handing AI medical applications? Considering how overwrought the approval procedure can be for more mundane medical technologies, I have little hope that the process is going to be efficient and effective.
