I don't understand why this comment is downvoted. Automated screening of radiological images by means of neural net is an extensively researched topic. Ten years ago there had been predictions that such automated screening will displace the radiologists, but that clearly did not happen.

For instance, this article is silent on false positive/false negative rates of the software. There is no comparison with other research. It reads like a corporate press release promoting a product.

The quotations around "amateur" should be moved to "fought". Nonetheless, it's encouraging that this level of research can be executed at home, however the strict burden of proof required should still be maintained.

Well, he was director of R&D for a medical imaging company and worked directly with academia. So I think its appropriate to contextualise the "amateur" because his work looked much more amateur than it really was.
