Yeah, medical computer vision is a (fascinating) field with a lot of ongoing research. SOTA models are highly specialized, and are only getting good enough to be used by actual doctors and patients. Using a general purpose LLM to do this is similar to giving a credit card to Openclaw and telling it to make you rich through the stock market & cryptos.

Somewhat. During residency I developed models for detecting liver tumors in MRI imaging. Like you said, highly specialized and a lot of manual work developing the dataset.

There are now open source open weight “foundation models” coming out of labs that are transformer or mamba based architectures. These will accelerate development.
