Wow, that truly sounds like a dream job! I discovered neural networks in 2017 and managed to write a simple app to scan dermatological images to classify them, amazing technology! I have worked for one year at a dementia diagnostic centre as a part of my training to become a specialist in family medicine and there is definitely a lot of interesting work to be done. I have also have an interest in radiology, how are you finding the profession so far?

I like it a lot, as I mentioned intellectually rewarding and I feel like most of what I learned at med school is useful. I also quite enjoy the occasional increase in adrenaline when at trauma reception or stroke CT evaluation. Also nice to both be able to work in peace and collaborate with clinicians. And personally I also enjoy keeping up to date on research which is evolving quite rapidly. The negative aspect is mostly what is common to most medical specialities and due to understaffing.
