What types of sequences does your algorithm run on (looks like DWI/ADC)? One could make the argument that if it is on standard sequences done for other diagnostic purposes, hence not requiring any additional time or money, this tool could be used to provide info to radiologists who are not typically going to look for these changes (nor can they do this as precise as machines).

I am working in a similar domain (www.16bit.ai) and am a radiologist. I think there is utility in this quantitative analysis despite there not being an intervention yet, despite what others are saying. The reason is because in order for others to measure the effectiveness of new treatments a gold standard and reproducible way of measuring the disease is necessary. I think drug companies working in this area would be quite excited about this if it can be shown to be a reliable predictor. As for direct to consumer marketing (ie. 23andme model) that some have suggested - its possible but it will be tough to educate patients to go and get their MRI images from their hospital for this purpose. I live and practice in Canada so my views and experiences of this may be a bit skewed. Best of luck!
